The kitchen in almost everyone's childhood is the primordial source of love, the über-room where a parent's affection is alchemized into breakfast, lunch, and dinner--not to mention Rice Krispie bars.

 The Great Debate & Beyond : The History of Televised Presidential Debates
On the second debate the industry figure was 62,500,000, the politicians' figure was 51,000,000; on the third, the figure was 60,000,000 according to the industry, and 48,000,000 according to the political pollsters; and on the fourth debate the spread between the industry and political pulse-takers was 70,000,000 and 48,000,000.
In the few communities where Westerns or something else competed with the Presidential performers, the audience ratings for the debates were decidedly lower-between 15 and 20 per cent less, in fact-than in the towns, villages, and cities where the debates monopolized all the channels and television addicts had to watch or go without.

 History Now. The Historians Perspective
The Kennedy-Nixon debates stand out as a remarkable moment in the nation's political history, not only because they propelled an unlikely candidate to victory, but also because they ushered in an era in which television dominated the electoral process.
The four prime-time debates were broadcast in September and October and presented in a format that has since become familiar, with opening and closing statements offered by each candidate and questions posed by a panel of journalists.
When in the side-by-side comparison later afforded by the debates Kennedy showed that he was well informed and well spoken, he succeeded in putting the issue to rest altogether.

As America was eager to depict its high standard of living, part of this exhibit was a model kitchen meant to exemplify all the conveniences American industry has brought to its workers, and by extension, as Nixon was to argue in the famous spontaneous "kitchen debate" with Nikita Khrushchev, the very essence of American freedom.
During the kitchen debate, Nixon apparently felt that the convenience consumer goods provided ordinary people was the trump card in favor of the American way.
It goes back to the kitchen debate yet again; a thousand different houses for a thousand different people, all of them isolated from their fellow citizens, powerless in their alienation.

 FRBB: Range Wars: The 1959 Kitchen Debate
One of the more curious Cold War confrontations — the Kitchen Debate — took place in 1959 at the American National Exhibit in Moscow, where Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev engaged in a bit of (surprisingly good-natured) ideological jousting.
By the end of the 20th century the Soviet Union had disintegrated; communism had all but disappeared; and Nikita Khrushchev’s son, Sergei, had emigrated to the United States, where he taught international relations at Brown University.
Note: The CNN web site has a complete transcript of the Kitchen Debate, and it’s definitely worth looking at — if for no other reason than to get a sense of how much Nixon and Khrushchev enjoyed sparring with each another.
