Supposedly people who listened on the radio though Nixon won the debate. On TV Nixon came across badly and they say it was the make-up. Could be, but I also tend to think it was just that when you watched Nixon you could always see in his eyes that he was a calculating liar.

They just are not. I would say not moving the needle isn't good even if it's the best case scenario here (Biden needed to use this debate to help gain on his current standing), but given the freakout from the pundit class, it would be kinda hilarious if their hysteria amounted to a hill of ****. Truly some of the most cloistered people in society. Edited Friday at 09:44 PM by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no accident Biden set the debate so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixon was recovering from a knee injury (slammed it with a limo door?) at the time of the debate. He re-injured it entering the TV station in Chicago. He also turned down makeup offered by producer Don Hewitt (later of 60 Minutes fame). The lack of makeup combined with a five o'clock shadow looked bad compared to Kennedy whose preparation for the debate included tanning while on the trail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to pick on the NYT because it went beyond them, but if we are sitting here two weeks from now and it's status quo or close to status quo in this Presidential race, given how far out over their skis they got.... like, how do you walk that back? They aren't going to let up, but jeez, it would make them look a lot more irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then put your effort into telling others why they should vote for Biden instead of fantasies about your token senator becoming the nominee.
