Some analysts claimed that the unprecedented turnout at the polls was a result; others saw the 2,196 Republican write-in votes for Kennedy as a protest against Powell. Nixon aides interpreted the Vice President's quick repudiation of Powell's reckless charge as a big help in dissociating their candidate from the right wing of the Republican Party.
