Senior BJP leader and party's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani has suggested a US-style TV debate between prime ministerial candidates. He recalled in 1960 how US people gave different opinions on the Richard Nixon-John F Kennedy Presidential debates after watching it on TV and listening on radio. "Those who saw the debates on TV were debates on TV were swept off and said Kennedy was better," he said adding those who listened to the debates on radio, preferred Nixon.

The debate is the big moment of an election campaign, a gladiatorial-like television arena allows a nation to compare and contrast candidates.
