Emotional Reactions. His style is certainly fresh. He declines Secret Service protection, rides in a rented van and brusquely turns down little gifts, even a necktie painted with a presidential seal that was proffered by an executive of a garment factory. He evokes an emotional, visceral reaction from many voters. At a Western Electric plant outside Baltimore, he created pandemonium: men pressed forward to shake his hand, women squealed and virtually swooned. For many women his appeal was frankly sexual.
