The debates really only affect the undecided. Very much like news coverage and commercials. If someone has made up her/his mind, none of those things will likely change it.
As for debate style, I heard somebody doing a compairson on NPR today and they said that Kerry is very smooth and very much like a prosecutor in court -- always thinking and ready to pounce.
It will be interesting to see how The President comes across since extemporaneous speaking isn't one of his stronger points.
