Tte prcsiientisl debates between President Genld
Ford and Jimmy Carter will not have the deceive impact
on the election that the 1960 debates had, according to
Michael Steinman, associate professor of political science.
"In fact, the results may not be teen Li the election at
an, but in an increase in the birth rate nine months from
now.
Steiaman said the debates between Richard Nixon and
John Kennedy were decided by the images each candidate
pojected to the public. Kennedy locked like a president,
he had good eye contact, didn't appear ruffled and seem
ed composed.
Nixon, on the ether hand, was ?e'ry nervous, his eyes
shifted over the audience, and he sweated profusely, he
said.
Steinman said that neither Carter nor Ford has the
personal style that makes him attractive to the public.
This lack of style, Steinman said, is apparent in the
candidates inability to generate any enthusiastic support.
Some polls have shown sproxhnately 49 per cent of the
voters are expected to vote in November. Steinnian said
this is probably less than any other election in history.
The debate Thursday nfit did not change a lot of
minds" he said. "People remained with their initial biases
because there was very little difference between the can
didates. Reactions of foreign nations may be important, Stein
man added.
Ve mht have a difficult time explaining how a na
tion which has made the greatest technological advances,
and which has placed a man on the moon, could produce
a program of such importance, with 15 minutes cf audio
difficulty, he said.
No winner emerged from the degates, according to
A. B. Winter, political science professor.
"Doth Carter and Ford appeared poised and dignified,
Vhter said. Tcth kept cool, and even the hottest ex
changes were polite. This year unlike the 1960 dshztss,
there was probably not five percentage points difference
between the two candidates-in effectiveness or image.
nssdno est wanted -,
The American public has images of a presidential
candidate, Winter said. Then times are good, we would
rather have a man who doesn't lock too brilliant, one who
isn't a super hencho. The public wants a president who
doesn't make the average citizen look bad.
Winter said he thought the images cf Ford and Carter
may have an effect on the election and that Ford is a
politician who knows about public images.
"Ford doesn't stand too tall, look too good, or walk
too well," he taU. "Ford, the ail-Amerkan boy, doesn't
make people lock bad. He is very honest and has average
intemence. - '
""Carter may bomb out because he looks too good. He
has a greater Intelligence and education than Ford, but he
seems too slick. One of Carter's bk mistakes may be that
he wants to give, in his opinion, what the country needs.
That is effective leadership and this scares people.
Winter said the public images of the presidential can
didates are Important.
"But don't discount the rationality of the American
public. The decisions that they make are a result of both
thinking and feeling.
