I found this interesting item as I was glancing through May Ann Akers' column, "The Sleuth" on the "Washington Post" web site.
Apparently, an operative of the late Richard Nixon thought Sen. John Kerry (D-Ma.) might make an excellent recruit for the GOP establishment in the 1970s.
This info comes from the release of a memo by the Nixon Library. Murray Chotier wrote the following to Nixon:
"He (Kerry) is a Yale graduate and inlined towards the establishment," Choiter said. "His background could be Republican."
In response, Kerry said he had never recieved a phone call from Nixon:
"No, and the one thing we know is that if Nixon had called me, there's a tape recording of it somewhere, right?"
