Campaigns can't be run on the cheap anymore
Fifty-one years ago, before presidential politics went on steroids, Democratic Sen. John Kennedy declared his candidacy only at the start of the 1960 election year. He ran in a few state primaries, including Wisconsin and West Virginia, besting Sen. Hubert Humphrey in both, then was nominated after Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson entered no primaries, futilely hoping his stature in the party would win out.
What a difference half a century
