Fred on This Week

Fred was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. The main story is here and you should be able to get to the video of the interview on the right side.

In many ways, this was a better interview than the earlier interview on Meet the Press. Steph covered more relevant topics--particularly regarding understanding Fred's views of various issues. Step still messes things up saying that Fred had "a single term in the Senate" which is incorrect. Steph was feisty, basically taking opposite positions on Fred's issues, but giving Fred adequate space to respond. The topics included the War on Terror, Social Security, Social issues (e.g. abortion and end of life issues) and the mechanics of the campaign.

Fred was animated and gave a strong defense of his positions. Once again, this is the kind of performance people need to see from Fred.

UPDATE: As part of the interview, Steph said that during Terri Schiavo's autopsy she was found to be brain dead. This is strongly disputed by her brother, as reported in Christian News Wire. I had not remembered hearing this though it wouldn't have surprised me either way.
