Politicians saying "I have a plan, but it's a double super secret plan and I can't tell you about it" no longer surprises (or amuses) me at all. The thing I found oddest about K's performance was the way he kept directly addressing "America." "America, I have a plan!" or "You know, America, cole slaw is better with raisins" or whatever. It occurred to me that this is probably a pretty common conceit of politicians, but DAMN if it wasn't awkward, coming from Kerry at least. He didn't do it in the last two debates, and, while I suspect this was an attempt to "connect" or be more folksy or personal, I think he should have left well enough alone.
