long story about that...basically neither knew they were on the same show as the other, as it happened by last minute coincidence. on top of it, kerry was going to be on at 7:05, and they calle at 6:56 to switch it, so i had to get oreilly in sooner...HUGE mess tonight, but it worked out.

Worked out well for you.

O'Reilly came off strong I thought, but not necessarily strong enough to note vote for Kerry over him. Kerry has been in the Senate for a very long time, he's a senior member and has a strong presence in the Senate. If I were in MA I'd choose Kerry over O'Reilly. There just isn't enough there to make me think a change is necessary or warranted. I have to hand it to O'Reilly though, he was well informed and did a good job explaining his views in a way that made him seem like he has more political experience than he probably does.

I completely agree with all points made there.
