THE NOTE - NEWS SUMMARY Dynamics and developments to watch this week: 1. When does Powell speak? (And what does he say?) 2. What does tonight's ABC/Washington Post poll show? Lots of ground covered, from Iraq and pre-war intelligence to the issues and the campaign -- fasten your seatbelts. 3. When and how does the White House begin to trash in earnest a book for which the President did interviews? 4. As Congress returns, what strength and concern do Members take from their candidates' high-profile perfs (Bush presser and Kerry Meeter)? 5. Do we get that new Kerry ad? 6. Now the DNC has conceded that it hasn't figured out how to get contemporary footage of President Bush from public events like news conferences through channels it can use in spots, and the Kerry campaign has conceded that it wasn't able to get the vintage '70s "Meet the Press" footage itself, will somebody in the party take control and end the madness? (Note how quickly BC04 got that Kerry $87 billion video in a usable form . . .) 7. Now the Dr. Rice showed up with oppo on Bob Kerrey, and General Ashcroft showed up with oppo on Jamie Gorelick, and Kerry showed up with oppo on Russert, will everyone in Washington assume that anyone they are facing off against in a televised appearance will be packing? 8. What time bombs (means testing, terrorism, the Heinz tax returns, the '70s?) exist in Kerry's otherwise-well-received "Meet" appearance? 9. What happens with everything on the ground in Iraq? 10. Does anyone else join the Spaniards in deciding against staying in Iraq? 11. Will the cable nets be swayed/pressured by today's Howie Kurtz piece to give John Kerry more "air" time? 12. Will Woodward stay in Kerry's stump speech, and for how long? 13. Will the blind quotes of one lobbyist in the Washington Post's Jonathan Weisman's piece on the record-breaking pork in a bill supposed to include modest tax breaks for exporters scuttle the bill? LINK
