Four TV networks and three radio stations offered the candidates free time to stage a debate. In the end, Kennedy won by a slim 113,000 votes. Debates have changed a lot throughout history. In the 1800's, people had to go out to watch the debates live. Now people can stay in their homes and watch live, and prerecorded debates on about five different TV networks.
People are tired of the mud slinging, they're tired of the negative ads.
If studies have so conclusively shown that negative campaigns don't work, then why are they still happening. The studies are wrong, that's why. People answer the studies like they'd like to vote, the only thing that the studies show accurately show is that America wants to dothe right thing. I think I'll vote for this candidate. A man by the name of Sabato proved this.
