Weeks later, they made history again—by debating each other from different sides of the country. The third debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960 came into living rooms on a split screen but was shot in three locations. Because of their campaign schedules, Nixon spoke in Los Angeles, Kennedy in New York, and the panelists in Chicago. According to the moderator, “a network of electronic facilities” enabled the candidates to see and hear each other. Most polls said it was Nixon’s best debate. Theodore White, in his history of the 1960 campaign, observed that “it was as if, separated by a continent from the personal presence of his adversary, Nixon were more at ease and could speak directly to the nation that lay between them.” This poster from the 1960s leveraged the televised presidential debates to sell more TVs (and encourage consumers to vote in November, too).
