Well...the context was fuzzy...they were both asked (Bridgette Quinn)what they thought the pres would be talking about- and Kristol brought it up himself- saying it's unusual for the pres to request Primetime and that he (Kristol) thinks he may have a surprise for us. Later Fred was specifically asked if he thought there would be anything unusual about the press conf- he said it wouldn't surprise him if the pres had something up his sleeve.

I guess what struck me was the way they both were grinning.

If this is just hype I'll be MAD- agree that false expectations are bad for business...

Thank you for the recap. In that instance, I would temper expectations. It may be they have insider knowledge, but even if they do there is no guarentee it is something that we would consider big. And if it's just hopeful expectations on their part, I don't want to have anticipation raised too high to properly access the Address tonight.

I do thank you for the rport of their countenances. It may be a signal and I'm grateful to have this info to keep in mid. Guess we'll find out soon one way or the other.

If Kristol and Fred Barnes were grinning like they knew something, then this press conference will not be a disappointment. They both tend to be hardnosed realists and not swayed by empty PR gestures.

Bill Kristol is almost ALWAYS wrong about everything. Loser.
