The 1960 presidential election was historically important because, for the first time, television played an important part in the election.  Both of the candidates were skilled debaters and agreed to appear in four live televised debates.   Democrat, [[John F. Kennedy]], appeared handsome, young and bright on the cameras, whereas [[Richard Nixon]] looked pale, pasty and uncomfortable (partly due to injuries.)  Although the viewers who heard the debate on radio thought Nixon won, those who saw it televised thought Kennedy won.  Although Nixon prepared better for future debates, the impression damaged him fatally.  The debates where crucial to Kennedy's campaign.  When asked what helped him win the most, Kennedy said, "The live televised debates."
