Platform: "The Invisible Candidate"

While he was serving as US Ambassador to Vietnam in 1964, his supporters initiated a "Draft Lodge" write-in campaign against Nelson Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater whose names were on the ballot. He defeated both of them without ever making a single public statement.
"The perfectly pointless Republican victory of non-candidate Henry Cabot Lodge."
