Has anyone heard this?
Back when JFK and Nixon were campaigning, they had the first televised debate. The majority of people who watched the debate said that JFK had won. However, the majority of people who listened to the debate said that Nixon had won. Why the difference?
At the debate, JFK was clean shaven and and wore a suit with contrasting light and dark colors (TV's were black and white, for the youngsters out there). Nixon had a slight 5 o'clock shadow and wore a suit that was a pale grey color. Visually, JFK stood out on the TV and "looked" more professional than Nixon. That's why the TV audiance choice JFK. However, Nixon did a better job of voicing his responses in the debate. Hence, winning the radio audiance.
In my opinion, each person should do this for every candidate. Why? Well, you don't want an idiot in the white house that is attractive. And you don't want a genious in the white house who looks like an idiot. This person, after all, is representing all of us to the rest of the world.
