An article on Politico on the presidential debate and lessons that can be learned from previous debates quotes James Campbell, professor and chair of political science, who said, "People don't elect debaters. They elect presidents. They don't care who was better or worse form the standpoint a debate judge would judge it. They are looking for character traits and the ability to deliver a message that they want from their leaders."
