Kennedy all the way! Great piece of history.

GREAT debate between JFK and Nixon. JFK was such a classic orator, and it shows here as he runs circles around Nixon about such topics as Education, Old Age Pensions and Communism. You can hear Nixon flustering quite a bit, and even the reporters pick up on his mistakes to further nail him some more. Kennedy just smoothsails through this with major spin-control, making his side look great and the other side look cloudy and murky.
