There were no flashing red lights or blaring sirens in the second part of Diane Sawyer’s interview with John Kerry on Good Morning America. Not like the first part. It was pretty much stump speech stuff.
I heard a very funny Harry Shearer bit yesterday on John Kerry’s preparations for tonight’s debate. He was being subjected to aversion therapy using electroshock to keep him from speaking in long, convoluted sentences. Whatever Mr. Kerry has been doing seems to be working—in the interview he was notably more declarative.
I’ve already given my predictions for tonight’s debate. I expect Bush to be Bush and Kerry to be Kerry and for there to be no surprises. I think I’d follow Steve Green’s example if I weren’t afraid it would interfere with my sleep. I’ll leave the live-blogging to others and follow up with some reflections after the debate.
