Once you get a reputation for saying stupid things, the press zeroes in on that highly printable liability. So it's almost a guarantee that he'll be stepping in it regularly between now and then.

His only other real choice is to go George W. and stick entirely to scripted statements and events. That will tick the press off, too, because if he stops giving interviews, they'll go find someone else to talk to--someone who needs all the free publicity he can get.
