I also think that Kerry had the questions before hand, since his answers seemed to seque quite nicely into the next question.

In response to one question, I recall Kerry talking about Iraq then touching upon homeland security...then, deferring to Lehrer by saying that homeland security would be discussed later. How did he know that?

You are quite right. His exact phrase was "I understand we'll be discussing Homeland Security later."

No one will ever convince me he didn't know the questions beforehand.

I recall President Bush saying something like that too so maybe they've agreed on topics?
