And here is Nixon. I could only find one.
I wanted to post the debate, but I could not find a clean version of it. Most people say that Kenneddy won the debate not only because of his answers, but because of his appearnace in comparison to the socially akward and sweaty Nixon.
That electorate went like this...
I had no idea that the vote was that close!
