Do you agree with the text authors that the attraction of voters to Kennedy because of "the [television] debate . . . proved to be the margin of victory [in 1960]," and that Kennedy's speeches "emphasized style over substance?" Why?
What will be an ideal response?
There is little doubt that Kennedy gained from his personal attractiveness and speaking style and that these were highlighted on television. Post-debate polls indicate that Kennedy gained voter support from these television appearances. Whether substantive or not, Kennedy's speaking style often stirred his listeners and inspired many to make commitments they might otherwise never have made.
