Historians agree that John F. Kennedy "won" his 1960 debate with Richard Nixon not on substantive issues, but because Nixon showed up on national television looking pale and nervous. The 1976 debate between Ford and Carter is remembered, not for its arguments over the state of the economy or the proper U.S. role in world affairs, but rather for Ford's strange assertion that Poland was not under Soviet domination.

GM is asking for a smaller...
...Gift of Gaffe. Nothing frightens the candidates like a debate flub comparable to Jerry Ford's claim that Eastern Europe was not under Moscow's thumb. But it is dangerous to exaggerate the significance of these small slips, especially since both Bush and Dukakis are stronger on factual knowledge than they are on vision. Ignore all the post-debate babble of commentators who like to pounce on gaffes. Turn the tables by giving 2 points to any candidate who catches his own error and offers a graceful correction...
