'''Presidential Debates''' are hearings where two Presidential opponents appear together and are asked questions about their political views.  The first official Presidential Debate was between [[John F. Kennedy]] and [[Richard Nixon]] in 1960.  The most recent Presidential Debate was between Senator [[John McCain]] and Senator [[Barrack Obama]] on October 15, 2008.  The only gap is from 1964 to 1972 because both [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] and [[Richard Nixon]] did not accept debates during that time.

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 tanned, handsome, and young 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 and he lost a close election.  The debates were crucial to Kennedy's campaign.  When asked what helped him win the most, Kennedy said, "The live televised debates."
