Miscommunication with Kucinich

We had a morning interview with Democrat candidate Dennis Kucinich set for early this morning. When we arrived, we were informed, through the candidate's secretary, that there was some confusion about the nature of the meeting. Candidate Kucinich was under the impression that the meeting was to be a seance, and that I would only be present in the ethereal sense. I passed on my regrets regarding the misunderstanding, and my desire to hold a very substantive (in all senses of the word) interview.

He returned his regrets that I was still alive, and denied the interview.

Fortunately there was no such misunderstanding in our interview with Senator John McCain later in the morning. A report on that interview -- I have not quite decided whether I regret the actions I took there -- will be posted later today, probably before dinner.

Asashoryu, Jimmy, and I are all quite tired from covering this campaign. It has been a fascinating experience, but one we hope to soon conclude with an official endorsement. We appreciate the outpouring of interest and support from readers.
