Fred on Leno [Cliff May]
This was a tougher interview that it might appear. Professional politicians can pretty much anticipate the questions that will come from professional journalists.
Jay Leno's questions were not stupid but they also were not "sophisticated." They were the kinds of questions likely to be asked by the tens of millions of people who watch entertainment rather than news. The people who skip the editorials and go for the sports and style sections And those voters are, almost by definition, swing voters.
So I think Fred didn't do himself any harm by skipping tonight's New Hampshire debate which was — based on the little I saw of it — a tad dull and predictable.
What now? Well, I'd suggest that Fred still needs a humdinger of a speech, setting out an inspiring theme and demonstrating a clear vision for the country and the future.
