" I predict that Kerry will also move away from his podium and attempt to invade the President's space. Lehrer will do nothing about it."

I don't think Kerry can physically remain at the podium.
I have observed Kerry closely since the debates.
In every appearance, Kerry fidgets and can rarely sit still.
I've noticed that he seems to have a very fine hand tremor and he may compensate for that by constantly picking at his fingers.
The gross arm gestures may also be another device Kerry uses to disguise the hand shaking.
His hand picking was so obvious in the 60 Minutes interview, that Lesley Stahl commented when Teresa attempted to grab both of Kerry's hands and force them to her side.
A technique Teresa successfully used when Kerry started the hand picking on LKL.

In the primary debates, Kerry hunched his shoulders up and down a number of times when he arrived at the podium and when the camera was on other candidates-he appeared to be talking to himself.
If the podium is open, Kerry will march in place,putting his weight on one foot and then another.
Some Freepers have described it as that of a little kid with a full bladder.
We will probably see the Buddha bow and I've noticed Kerry doing what I call his hernia handshake.
He takes both hands and clasps them and pushes in on his suprapubic area.

Kerry has a bunch of grand gestures in his routine- waving his arms to both sides,
the pointing,sometimes with a corkscrew,
the breast stroke -he literally looks like he is swimming,
the tongue flicking,
the lip licking,
a move I call the D cup- he circles both arms up, out and back again
and the rising up and down on the balls of his feet.

Since we know nothing of Kerry's physical health, we can only guess why Kerry has these constant tics.
If these tics disappear tonight and Kerry calmly remains at the podium, it will probably be because they have drugged him.
A risky proposition, but, it may be the only way to keep Kerry from wandering.
