Where's his campaigning on the platform that he had been "declared innocent"? Septentrionalis 04:19, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Why does it really matter that Nixon died three years after Connally

The article says neither Connally nor his wife believed in any conspiracy theories. This is contradicted here - http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8381.shtml

Here Nellie Connally says that first Kennedy was wounded and then from the next shot the Governor was wounded and from the shot after that Kennedy was killed: http://web.lconn.com/mysterease/connally.htm The thing is that the magic bullet theory claims that Kennedy and Connally were both wounded from the same shot. 80.186.100.180 16:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The article says Connally and his wife do not endorse JFK conspiracy theories, this is not true: http://nomoregames.net/index.php?page=other_conspiracies&subpage1=jfk_and_911

[edit] Out of Scope

I believe that mentioning the number and timing of the bullet that struck Connally is out of the scope of this article. This is better discussed on other pages devoted to the events of November 22, 1963 and I proposed the sentence be deleted.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sealtexas.jpg

Image:Sealtexas.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Eisenhower a Texan?

"Connally surfaced in Algiers as part of the planning staff for the invasion of Africa by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, also a native Texan whom Connally greatly admired."

Huh? Ike was most definitely a Kansan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.109.103.194 (talk) 17:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Ike was born in Denison, Texas but moved to kansas when he was only a few months old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.183.222 (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
