Media tricks

I love presidential election time. It's a time when hearing the news you can see all the media tricks the candidate are playing on us.
Appart from the image marketing: Ségolène with her white jacket and Sarko with his white shirt, there's the lobbying on what should journalists say, how to influence the audience by auto-realising prophecies.
The most blatant example is the fact that Ségolène is a poor public speaker. Sarkozy being a very good one, just like me you might think "he's going to eat her up during the very first debate". Logical! I would think that having no charisma on meeting and be unable to formulate one's idea clearly is kind of a low point for a candidate.
But it might turn up very differently! Our left-side newspaper are praising this unability to speak in public, saying Ségolène is such a good example of what French people are today. Personally, most French being poor bad public speaker I would expect my future president to be a little bit above average. But what remains is that is not in the interest of Sarkozy to eat her up anymore, he'll look like the elitist bad guy.
Won't this level down the poltical debate? Should our president be an average Joe/Jane? Is it so bad to be part of an elite that you should hide it by anyway you can?
