Reagan vs. RFK "On May 15, 1967, there was a fascinating debate between California's new Republican governor, Ronald Reagan, and New York's new Democratic senator, Robert F. Kennedy. The subject: the Vietnam War. The debate ... was billed by CBS as a 'Town Meeting of the World.' ... The debate was watched by a huge audience: 15 million Americans. "There was total agreement, including among media sources who revered Bobby Kennedy ... that Reagan overwhelmingly won the debate. 'To those unfamiliar with Reagan's big-league savvy,' reported Newsweek, 'the ease with which he fielded questions about Vietnam may have come as a revelation.' ... "David Halberstam acknowledged that 'the general consensus' was that 'Reagan ... destroyed him.' ... "Alarmed viewers looking for a defense of the United States as anything other than history's greatest purveyor of global misery were frustrated by Kennedy's lame responses but buoyed by Reagan's strong retorts." -- Paul Kengor, writing on "The Great Forgotten Debate," Tuesday at NationalReview.com
