PITTSBURGH Teresa Heinz Kerry joked about being a loose cannon when she campaigned for her husband today at a Pittsburgh library. "No one can ever hear me," the soft-voiced 65-year-old wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said, fiddling with her microphone. "But when they do, watch out!" -- she joked.Heinz Kerry's appearance at the library, and a get-out-the-vote rally at Penn State's main campus tonight will wrap up a two-week swing through Pennsylvania for Senator John Kerry's wife.The tour wrapped up just as polls released by Quinnipiac (kwin-uh-PEE'-ak_ University and A-B-C News show that President George W. Bush has opened up a slim lead among likely Pennsylvania voters, even as Heinz Kerry crisscrossed the Keystone state.But the A-B-C poll also showed that Heinz Kerry's husband is viewed more favorably than Bush on the "kitchen table" election issues -- like jobs, health care and education -- which Heinz Kerry has emphasized during the stump speech swing.

Gotta tell ya, health care is not a foremost issue in our home...and I've just spent the past three months combatting cancer. That oughta say a lot.


Sorry to hear about your cancer, but you are right. I believe when they talk about health care they are directing it toward illegal aliens and the unemployed who would rather not work. Most others have health care.
