i imagine you mean vs JFK (or is vs Humphrey possible as well?) 

Both. After all, Nixon was pushing a form of universal health insurance coverage in 1974. Not an adequate proposal by any means, but still a radical idea in comparison to what the modern GOP would think up. In reality, any pre-Reagan GOP nominee could be considered fiscally left-wing in comparison.
