Larry King: Are you concerned about Sarah Palin? KERRY: No. No, why would I be concerned?

[ProSense]

KING: One more political thing. Are you concerned about Sarah Palin?

J. KERRY: Concerned?

KING: Yes.

J. KERRY: No. No, why would I be concerned?

KING: What do you make of her?

J. KERRY: Well, she is -- I mean, look, she is interesting. She represents some of the transformation in American politics into entertainment. And I think, you know, if you come up with a phrase like, how do you like that hopey-changey stuff, that's a pretty good phrase, to be honest with you.

But it's more on the hot-button, push-button side of politics than it is, I think, on the real answers side of where we're going to go. I have a feeling that as we go through the next year, Larry, I think American politics is going to change a little bit.

It's never static. And no election is where you think it is today. That I know for a certainty. So as we come in to the fall and go into 2012, I think we're going to go through a transformation. Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned, maybe I'm actually getting older in the system, but I still believe that accomplishment and ideas and thinking and sort of a record makes something of a difference.

And I don't see a lot of that --

KING: For the better.

J. KERRY: -- there.

Yes, for the better.
