You can compare candidates side by side. You can learn what they think about issues. You see a candidate's personality and character. You see an unscripted moment….”on the fly” You see the energy level of the candidate. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/bonus-video/presidents-age-nixon/ PBS Clip – Start at 0:45 and end at about 3:00 after the Kennedy/Nixon debate.
