I hope Kerry doesn't decide to play it safe in the debate tomorrow just because he's picked up a few points in a few polls. My guess is that if voters are reacting to anything, it's the image of Kerry as a genuine, hard-charging, intelligent man who will not let Bush get away with immature, frat boy intimidation.
In short, whatever the polls say, I hope Kerry tells Bush to f--k off (but not in so many words).
