MTP in Mountain Time Zone

[earthside]

Meet the Press just concluded in Denver.

Kerry did an outstanding job.
At Bush campaign headquarters they have got to be nearly paralysed with trepidation about any Kerry-Bush debate.

The thing is, I don't agree with Kerry on Cuba or on Palestine-Israel. But appearences on shows like MTP are not so much about spcific issues but how these folks handle themselves. On this point Kerry easily outscores Bush.

JFK is just so far above Bush on an intellectual and experience level. Kerry has a sense of history, he has a sense of diplomacy, he can engage in a conversation.

And that is why Kerry on MTP has done himself a tremendous amount of good ... He showed that he is capable of being president. He has the temperment for the job. He has a steadiness of character that will make average Americans comfortable with him as their leader.

In my opinion, together with all the other news of the day (and if Bush doesn't cheat again), I predict that Kerry will win with an electoral college vote of well over 300.
