[Thrill]

In Kerry's speech?

1. Can you elaborate?

Where did you hear that there would be "surprises" in Kerry's speech? I have not heard anything like that.

3. Kerry and his campaign

said there would be a few suprises. Its been mentioned on all the networks

6. Then I haven't a clue

Suprises, eh...Don't know what they would be.

5. It was something about Kerry revealing that he's made of liquid metal.

Drudge said it, so it must be true.

2. He will announce his VP pick

oh, wait...

4. Historically, he's been very charismatic, and he seems to have toned

things down during the campaign. I've seen that episode of Cheers in reruns -- the one where he has a cameo -- and I keep thinking that that's the Kerry I remember. He's funny, he sounds good, and his acting is actually pretty good.

I've entertained the thought that he has toned things down intentionally during the primaries in a rope-a-dope sort of strategy.

I'm waiting for him to kick out the jams, which I think will leave a lot of people wondering if the media and the republicans are on crack when they say he's too uncharismatic.

What if that were the surprise?

8. I watched a program about Kerry last weekend

and I was quite surprised at how outgoing he was. The program was about his post-Vietnam days. I kept thinking that he should start showing that side of himself again. Actually, when I've seen him with a large group of people, that seems to be when he pulls back. When he's been one on one, a lot more of his personality comes through.
JMHO of course. :)

9. The msnbc pundits . Trippi et al, agree with your observation.

I have talked to Kerry three times and I was amazed at how personable he is. His speeches ,however have been eratic. I saw a fabulous one he gave at the Citadel and was present at an incrdible speech he made at a luncheon.I haven't seen that quality of speech from him since.But they say he always closes the deal under pressure.

7. I think he will pull out a machine gun and go hunt down Bush!!

Pre-announcing surprises always leads to disspapointment.
