I don't know. What do you think?

Answered by Reed
It's impossible to say for sure. Mr. Nixon was favored in polls before the debate was televised and Mr. Kennedy afterwards. Some analysts think Nixon looked pale and wan and sweaty on TV and that influenced voters. He did refuse makeup under the strong, hot TV lights. Most people, especially when it took very strong light for the cameras, did use makeup for TV in order to look "natural". Who can know for sure what influenced the outcome of the election?

Mr. Nixon was also ill on the night of the debate and paler and shakier than normal for him.
