| I just don't want to see the formal debates replaced by George and Laura chatting amiably with Larry King, sipping coffee while Larry throws out some softball questions. Yes, there's room for such, and the field is widening, i.e., Al on MTV yesterday. (By the way, both of my kids watched Al on MTV last night instead of other options on the boob tube.) However, we also need formal debates. After watching George on King, I can see why he held out so long for that style of interview as opposed to the formal debates. If George can maintain a low-key, folksy air in the formal debates, that will help him. What will hurt him is if he reverts to his sneering, sarcastic style. If Gore is smart, he will attempt to anger GWB early on. |
