Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about Stockdale?  I didn't
see the whole debate, but the part I saw didn't leave me with the
impression that he was any worse than the others.  Just because
someone isn't a polished (some would say slick :-)  ) orator
doesn't mean they aren't gifted in other areas.  In fact, if all
a person *can* do is look good in public, then they are probably
lacking in other skills.  Stockdale is a respected member of a
think-tank and the author of several books, so he can't be a
doddering old fool.  Is it simply his public persona that bothers
you?  No flame - just curious.  (BTW, I'd vote for Carter or Nixon
before I'd vote for Perot.)  As the debates go on, Marrou looks
better and better.
