JFK isn't around, mostly because yeah, Leland Stanford III is the Kennedy in a way (also the guy in the photo is Robert Kennedy, his brother, so it'd be awkard to have two identical dudes going around on opposite sides of the continent). Not entirely though. Stanford III was famously noncharismatic, he had an incredibly hard time on the campaign trail until he picked Eleanor Parker up for his campaign and gave it a major shot in the arm. He did have good policies, though. He proposed the MediCal system and the creation of CalRail, championed the Equal Rights Amendment that would have officially ended any legal discrimination based on ethnicity/sex/sexuality/etc, and a bunch of other good stuff. Parker, his Vice President and eventual successor, was the one who made them seem like good ideas because of how vigorously she promoted them and her iron will in seeing things get passed. Many actually referred to Stanford III and Parker as "Co-Presidents" because of how much direct and indirect influence Parker had on the Presidency up until she got catapulted into the position following his assassination.
