In their view, the hole is ours. In the public's view, I think it will all depend on what everyone does from this point on. Everyone understands the Cheney's are in an awkward situation. The 'rats will exploit it and look foolish only if we don't bite. But too much reaction from us one way or the other could make it all backfire, imo. Just drop it. That's the smartest and hardest road to take sometimes.

See, the Kerry team is mega hypocritical on the gay marriage issue. They would love nothing more than to force us into a hypocritcal position as well. We shouldn't bite.

No, in their view the hole is Kerry's. That is why there were gasps in the press hall. That is why they are hysterical. That is why they are on defense trying to spin Kerry out of this comment.

How are we being hypocritical? We haven't stated we are for gay marriage. We haven't stated we are for homosexuals being treated with disrespect. We have stated Kerry had no right to bring a private citizen of the opponent into the debate to attempt to score political gain.

You are wrong in stating we should back away from doing what is right. Mary Cheney was treated disrespectfully and I, for one, am not going to allow the Kerry campaign to get away with this.
