I have always wondered what had happened if the television cameras didn't malfunction on the day of the national debates because of a defect in the wiring. Nixon was very sick and I think he would have lost the debate if not for that stroke of luck. In 1960 the two parties were very close, and I wonder if a Kennedy victory would prevent the Democrats from reverting to their extreme right-wing roots of the Democrats of the late 1860s and the 1870s and the rise of the Christian Right in the Democrats.
