Sad thing is it wasn't a gaffe, it was a deliberate political move that backfired... Not that any historian/newspaper would want to remember that detail.

I was just thinking that remark will forever define this year's debates just as "there you go again" and "you are no John Kennedy" will define debates for those elections.

What's ironic about the "gaffe" is that he was probably coached to bring that up, in the hopes that it would keep a lot of conservative Christians home - like the last-minute DUI dirty trick did in 2000.

Time will tell but I hope it backfires this time around.

The real "gaff" was the political advice to have him do it in the first place. This was a calculated move that apparently has back fired big time.

Don't cha just love it?!!!!!!!!

that wasn't the gaffe. the homosexual lobby has succeeded in pulling the wool over everyone's eyes...

the real gaffe isn't being talked about much -- and was how he completely omitted any reference to his wife on the last question and made up the fiction about his dying mothers last words... IMHO the cheney thing was less mindboggling a gaffe as this, rather it was just the final straw to ignoring his wife (particularly in contrast to GWB's heartfelt eloquence regarding laura b.)

I think the bigger gaffe was Edwards "get up out the wheelchair" crap relating to stem cell research. The "lame will leap" when Kerry gets elected? That's the much larger mistake, but has been underplayed. Stop talking about Mary Cheney! Talk about Kerry/Edward's false-hope, snake oil routine!

Kerry won the debates, before he lost them.

Kerry is a shamless buzzard.

That isn't what I wanted to use but I am being polite.

Kerry would kick a baby, rape a nun, kill a puppy, club a seal or spit on a vetran for political advantage.

I sure hope so! I also noticed he never even mentioned his wife's name during the wives question as well.
