Talk:George C. Lodge

Fitzgeralds aren't Kennedys
"He later entered politics and was the 1962 U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts against Ted Kennedy, marking the third time in history that the Lodges faced the Kennedys in a Massachusetts election. Previously, Lodge's father was the incumbent 1952 U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts against John F. Kennedy. Additionally, Lodge's patrilineal great-grandfather Henry Cabot Lodge was reelected for the same Senate seat as the incumbent 1916 U.S. Senate candidate against the Kennedy brothers' maternal grandfather, John F. Fitzgerald."

Fitzgeralds aren't Kennedys, regardless of subsequent marriages. So counting the Lodge/Fitzgerald senate election of 1916 as a Lodge/Kennedy face-off is bunk. 2601:18E:C501:E4F3:7ACA:39FF:FEB2:EFCB (talk) 12:59, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
