To me it was obvious from the moment Kerry (and Edwards, earlier) said it, that this was very deliberate.

Paging Hillary Clinton, was that your "advice" to the Kerry campaign to bring up Lynn Cheney? B-P Sometimes I wonder if that was the poison pill the Clinton advisers FrankenKerry has on his staff gave his campaign for a Hillary run in 2008.

It was no surprise that Mrs. Edwards weighed in on this with her opinion.

Kerry is a superior liar and calculating debator. In my opinion, he won the first debate and split the second. Like Clinton, he was great and talking alot but saying very little. Unfortunately for the right, the majority of the USA equates superior debating skills with higher intelligence and better judgement. MTV taught them that, and we're on our second generation that suck on MTV and popular opinion for their education. They sure don't get it from schools ("A" in sensitivity... wtf is that?).

Face-to-face with foreign leaders, Kerry can't hold a candle to Bush. But you won't see THAT from the MSM. This election will show me if the majority of voting Americans are sheep or have the sense to look beyond the facade. I fear that, due the younger generations' ignorance of issues and their reliance upon stars' opinions, that this election is already decided.

Of course, Bush IS a superior leader in every aspect I am aware of. We know that. But one more thing this election will tell me is whether or not the majority of voters remember history longer than the last episode of 'Friends'.

If not, they will not hold Bush in the correct perspective as one who has the experience and balls to do what has to be done. They will elect Kerry.

Someone on another board tried to poo-poo the outrage at Kerry's comment, since Mary Cheney was already "out." I offered this analogy:

Okay, let's say Vanessa Kerry is Governor of Anystate and, as such, has authorized many executions of prisoners. Even though her father (and his party) are against capital punishment, Vanessa feels it is justified but in every other respect she is a good Democrat.

In the debate, Bush and Kerry are asked if they think prisoners are "bad seeds" or if they can be reformed. Kerry says they can be reformed and should not be punished, that as president he would sign a ban on capital punishment.

Bush says, it is a hard choice because we are all God's children, but I bet if you asked Vanessa Kerry how she felt about all those she's executed, she would say that justice had been served.

Now, do you see that as a cheap, tawdry political trick?

I think Kerry knew that the question was coming.
I don't trust Bob Schaeffer(sp)......for one minute.

Truthfully, I want to hear Mary Cheney speak her mind on this.

Moreover, Mrs. Edwardfs, back off. You haven't a right to speak about this. You are just some woman married to the v-p democrat nominee.

So far, wives of political candidates haven't been asked to debate. So, shut your big mouth, you don't understand it's not good to speak about another's family let alone daughter without knowing her from the day her proud father and mother held her in their warm and loving arms.

You wouldn't like it if a political opponent did the same. Gosh, I hope not. I do not think any loving Mother would.

Since Kerry doesn't know Mary Cheney, wouldn't this be considered "gossip". His mother should have said, "Integrity, Integrity, Integrity" a few more times...I don't think he got it!

Rush's analysis as usual is insightful and right on the money on this.

Kerry showed himself to be a rude and calculating, and willing to step on anyone to get to the top. But he ended up really stepping in it on this one.

It was all calculated. Kerry to turn off christens. Mrs. Edwards to turn off Gay's and the media to call us homophobes. And seminar callers to pretend to be christens.

Of course it was planned.
I knew that right away.
Kerry's team thought Edwards did a grand job on VP Cheney
by mentioning his daughter.

Hell, Kerry could have mentioned Barney Frank.
