You could also analyze the debate through how the candidates acted physically. Kerry was respectful, standing with good posture, and just keeping an even face and being respectful while W was talking. W on the other hand was hunched over taking notes, drinking his water often, and making faces when Kerry said something to piss him off. Also, towards the end W was getting quite red, knowing he was not doing well. Again, Kerry seemed more presidential and poised while W just seemed like some sort of angry old man.
I know I am too young to have lived it, but this reminds me of hearing about the debates between JFK and Nixon. Nixon was sweating bullets and looking really shady, while JFK was poised and proper looking. From what i hear this helped JFK win.
While some may not think this is a big deal, people need to realize that the majority of America could care less about what they had to say, and worry more about how they look. After all, isn't that what reality TV is all about?
