And meanwhile, President Bush is willing to do tough interviews (he's been interviewed by Tom Brokaw, Tim Russert, Matt Lauer and soon Bill O'Reilly). I wouldn't be surprised that Bush is even willing to go on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, given how confident Bush is nowadays.

On the other hand, Senator Kerry has been doing a few softball interviews and still blowing it. Kerry wouldn't survive two minutes in an inteview with O'Reilly, that's to be sure.

Small wonder why Senator Kerry is rapidly sinking in the polls.

I don't share your confidence, BOR can really suck up for that access.

The problem with O'Reilly is that you never know who's going to show up -- the left winger who trashes the Swifties without giving them a fair hearing or the blowhard to says he's hard on everybody. And isn't it interesting that Kerry's been careful to avoid questions. Imus doesn't count.

Yes he would -- easily. But he wouldn't last even that long with Ollie North or even Brit Hume.

There are a lot of things happening in the country and the world, and the public has legitimate questions they’d like to ask. I don’t know what he’s afraid of. He’s criticized the president for not giving enough press conferences. And now we face daily arm-wrestling to ask a question....'" http://snipurl.com/9485
