@akjngiogajkokols   @jhkkjj   Nixon is the favored candidate for victory because he is a more experienced politician. People are familiar with his voice, but not his face. Kennedy was a gentle and inexperienced young man. However, the television debate showed the American people a Nixon who looked old and frail and a young and energetic Kennedy. Nixon's poor television performance turned the tide, and Kennedy won the election. Since then, calm and composed television performance has become a necessary condition for winning senior positions.
