There is a thread somewhere here with a quote from Kerry at a stump speech where he got away from the script-- and promptly became genuinely obtuse and incoherent.
In the debates he will have carefully scripted comments to be triggered by questions on each subject. He will try to have a few snappy comebacks on predictable points GW will make.
But if GW gets under his skin somehow, and Kerry decides to take off after him on some subject, he is liable to totally embarrass himself. He doesn't do spontaneity well at all.

Here We Go Some More:
Judging by Kerry's performance last Thursday in North Carolina, they're not sure anymore. While talking about the economy, health-care policy, Kerry went off speech and began stumbling immediately. Kerry said that he would always tell the public the truth, and if the audience didn't believe him, they could "[g]o to a web site. It can be johnkerry.com or go some other place. Go to truth.com, if there is one, and find out what's really happening," Kerry said.
This is the same article that says Kerry made a pep talk conference call to his Washington staff, then hung up before anyone could ask him questions.
I think the writer meant Tuesday rather than Thursday, because Kerry was in North Carolina Tuesday Sep 7 and not here on the 9th.
BTW, truth.com is a hardware store. Lots of 'tools and cranks'* there?
