Live Thread: Kerry on Imus (starts 7:29 EST 09/15/04)
Imus Radio Show ^ | 09/15/04 | Don Imus

Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will be the guest at 7:29 am eastern. Senator Kerry has a lot of convincing to do, beginning with the I-Man.. whose support has waned in recent weeks. Despite several polls to the contrary, both campaigns acknowledge a 5-6 point lead for President Bush. Many analysts say it's a result of a post convention bump, and the GOP's ability to make the focus of the election national security and Kerry's record. The challenge for the Senator is to now put the emphasis back on domestic issues while separating the War in Iraq from the War on Terrorism. Can he turn the tide while continuing to play defense? Can he turn all the anti-Bush sentiment into a spark that ignites the Democratic base? Does he think it will ultimately come down to the debates? Will he finally be able to clearly frame his views on Iraq? Is John Edwards the VP candidate he thought he would be? John Kerry has his work cut out.. but, he can take a big step forward on Wednesday morning when/IF he answers the tough questions from IMUS.

Let him filibuster... just pull his string and he rambles on and on and on... as American's eyes roll. The right kind of interview, the example, should be George Bush Senior the other day... an exchange, not a speech.

Note the slimy mileading statement "Our deaths have gone up every month we've been there ... from June, July to August.

Here are the KIAs by Month since January: Jan 52, Feb 23, Mar 52, April 140, May 84 ... Then June 42, July 54, Aug 66.

So, KIAs are significantly down frm April and May. That's why he started in June. Lying Bastard.

Imus brings up the "I would have gone to war in Iraq, knowing what we do now." Kerry is answering that. HIs bone of contention is the size of the coalition, we could have waited, etc. More time for inspectors, could have held Saddam accountable other than by going to war. Not planned what to do in a hostile post-war. Says we didn't guard ammo dumps.

Imus asks what is Kerry's plan to get out of Iraq ("barring some scandal, would be four years") what is this plan? Kerry - Bush makes the planning complex. Kerry goes back to need for international assistance. WOuld call a summit meeting of the EU which has not lived up to its obligations under the UN. Basically, would substitute UN for US.

The President did not put armor on the Humvees in Iraq? I cannot believe he is giving Bush Cheney a hanging breaking ball out of the park... oh wait, this is Kerry... I can believe it.
