And who won?

You missed my point. It was that the superior debater won.

You missed my point, the 'winner' of the debate didn't win the
election.

Some people think Reagan won with his facile one-liners like "There
you go again!"

But you're right as far as the serious side of the debate. Reagan
looked like a clown. Carter's superior rhetorical skills couldn't
overcome his dismal performance in office.

Actually, as I recall it, there was only *one* reason Reagan beat Carter:
the Iran Hostage Crisis mess Carter didn't seem to know how to handle
without humiliating himself with that desert debacle.

That, and the economy.
