John Kennedy was the first ( and only) Roman Catholic to be elected president. This fact is important to Catholics and may still have some bearing on the theory of how electable a candidate is. At one time, being a Catholic was a huge liability for a presidential candidate, but that handicap may have disappeared before Kennedy ran. There are still people who would not vote for a Catholic, but there are also a lot of Catholic voters. John Kennedy was the first president from Massachusetts since John Adams and John Q. Adams.
His election may have revitalized Massachusetts politics, since at least three candidates from Mass. have run since, although none have been elected.
Every US president has considerable influence on the country and in the world while they are in office , so the choice of the president is important. However, Kennedy was not in office for even one full term, so I can not see any exceedingly great importance to his election.
