re: #71 Killgore Trout

Does anyone know the correlation of debate wins to election wins? Has a candidate ever lost all the debates but still won the election?

has any candidate ever definitively “lost” all debates?

like i was saying, the best comparisons for last weds are the first mondale-reagan in 1984 and kerry-bush. in other words, the correlation of challengers unexpectedly “winning” the first debate to them winning the election is zero
