I predict that Kerry will feint under the pressure of the debate (probably just before he is about to contradict himself again).
The debate will come to an uncomfortable stop.
The media will report it as "Kerry Shows his Sensitive Side".
What some of you are forgetting or maybe don't know is that part of the rules they agreed to is that no camera will show the reaction of the person not speaking. When W or Lurch is speaking, no one will see the other person except for the people in the audience of course.
Kerry got the choice positions -- lead off question and close. If he gets off to a decent start (first question from Lehrer will be on Iraq), he'll gain confidence.
Still can't hide his ugly looks, though.
