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

Posted on 09/15/2004 4:23:20 AM PDT by xm177e2

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.

Imus is anything but an idiot. He questions like a good lawyer in a deposition.

"I voted based on weapons of mass destruction. The president distorted that"

Again he accuses the President of lying

Another slam that Edwards is not around. Imus invites him on. Closes with "Good luck, Senator Kerry." Interview over.

I can't believe Imus never asked Kerry if he had ever been in Cambodia.

Did I just hear Kerry give two positions on the war in the same sentence?

I guess he just confirmed that the job of President is just too much shoe for him to fill.

Any mention of Kerry's group planning on assassinating sitting UNITED STATES senators?

Exactly. Watch out for the one who is being "nice" to you.

So Imus didn't have the guts to mention the 180 by name or bring up Cambodia. He came close, but he never closed the deal.

Also, ZERO mention of RatherGate.

That's what he said "he told the Truth"....

It makes no sense - of course, it's kerry.

The thing thats most galling to me is how he accuses George W of sending the troops in without proper armor etc - meanwhile he voted against everything to help the troops out his whole career.

This man's whole life is a lie.

Imus never asked him about the infamous slight by kerry to the kids with cancer, and how he didn't have his train stop....what's up with that?

So... under no circumstances would he go into Iraq...

No, he didn't say that. He said he would not go under the circumstances Bush had. He did not answer Imus's question about circumstances in which he would have gone in.
