The Note - NEWS SUMMARY What we now know: 1. John Kerry and John Edwards (and Elizabeth Edwards) can get through interview after interview without committing news. 2. John Kerry is considering forgoing public funding for the general election, setting up another interesting chess game. 3. Political reporters are willing to write that the election is all about energizing the base OR that it is all about appealing to swing voters — depending on their thesis for a given story. And, of course, the truth is that both types of voters matter. 4. The New York Times ed board, animated by the spirit of Dr. Altman, wants more medical records from Kerry and Vice President Cheney. 5. Democratic ad spending is plenty competitive with the Republican side. What we are waiting to find out: 1. What role will the Bush and Cheney children (and grandchildren) play the rest of the way? 2. How effectively will John Kerry's Vietnam buddies and the Kerry, Heinz, and Edwards children be deployed in Boston? 3. Will the president tout a second-term domestic agenda in this campaign, and, if so, when will it be unveiled and what will it include? 4. Are voters changing their voting intentions after seeing "Fahrenheit 9/11"? 5. Have the Cheneys discussed their views of states rights and gay rights with each other? 6. Will John Kerry be able to keep up the exuberance level as he travels without his friend John Edwards? 7. Will John Edwards' solo campaign schedule include that long midday block of time for his cherished jog? 8. When will the 9/11 Commission report comes out, and what is the White House plan for reacting to it?
