Kerry is a man totally devoid of charm or conviction. You could see it in Letterman's face. He is stepping in a flaming dog turd when he keeps saying he's always been consistent in his positions on Iraq. This jerk can't even shine in a softball interview. He is a trainwreck waiting to happen in the debates.
He's hollow and therefore full of pretense. He often can't guage how he's coming off with people. I've watched so many of his statements fall flat even with highly sympathetic audiences. He confuses many people. They don't know what to make of him.
The Bush team will take full cognizance of these and other weaknesses in kerry's make-up as they plan for the debates. A man who has no center, no core, can be led into traps through his blind spots.
