Nixon plays up self over Republican brand in campaign

Hawaii reports note his strategy targets independents who rarely vote, favoring loud talk and personal contrast with Kennedy. The approach mirrors Rockefeller's NY governorship path, risking oversimplification and a potential Dewey-like outcome if debates fail to sway voters.
