I think she be giving a daily press conference to further the cause of her husband's campaign. I would watch just for the entertainment factor.

I was speaking ebonics, let me try again, "I think she should be giving a daily press conference..."

Brain fart...

I don't see the contradiction.

See, UBL will appear before election day because the Rove-Cheney cabal will produce him. Bush missed him because he's nothing but the chimpy-puppet-pawn, remember?

I don't really get why a candidate's wife needs to be making speeches, etc. I mean, she shouldn't be like Dean's wife, completely absent from the campaign but she should be like any executive's wife, only marginally involved.

Ace, I'm actually kind of worried about this. Kerry's hail-Mary campaign strategy is now predicated upon the assumption that there WILL be a terrorist attack upon the United States before the election. That's why they're building up on this big "Bush didn't get Osama/he distracted us from the real war on al-Qaeda" kick.

And I think it's strategically a smart thing to do. After all, we're all fairly certain that al-Qaeda WILL attack right before the election, in the hopes of swinging it to Kerry. And Kerry knows that too, so he's trying to prepare his campaign to take advantage of that. Why should we assume that it won't be effective? What if Kerry's argument that "we were distracted from the REAL fight and now Americans have died because of Bush's criminal war" DOES work in a post-attack scenario?

I consider an attack to be 100% likely. And almost 100% likely to be successful. And I worry that Bush hasn't done enough to insulate himself against the political fallout from one. What if al-Qaeda manages to succeed in getting Kerry into office because of this new strategy of Kerry's?

I just hope Yoko doesn't come between him and Edwards.

Is it just me, or is Allawi a dead ringer for Tony Soprano, especially when he smiles?

Seriously guys, I know that Ace's site is kryptonite for DUmmies, but could we stop giving away the VRWC secrets? Repeat after me everyone, "Karl Rove does not control my mind or anyone else's. And especially not Ter-ay-za's or Dan Rathers."

Next you'll be giving away the secret about the mind ray being able to penetrate up to 1/4" of alumin...er, yeah, no more VRWC secrets.

Well, I don't know about you, but I think we should heed the words of this loose-screw tycooness. I mean, after all, she's rich right? Doesn't that make her special or something?

Dan-O, good point. After all, Americans (unike Europeans) show a slavish adherence to a class system where the aristocracy are automatically respected and revered.

You're right. Teresa should speak more often and give the lower classes someone to worship (snicker).

Ace--

I made the comment on Friday (http://garfieldridge.blogspot.com/2004/09/teresa-heinz-kerry-continues-her-hit.html)

"What Heinz Kerry is arguing is that President Bush is a failure for not finding Osama, but Bush shouldn't find Osama because, well, dang it, he needs to be a failure in order for her husband to become President.

Hey, if President Bush showed up Sunday in the Rose Garden with a shackled Bin Laden in tow, most Americans would rightly say "Well, that took long enough-- but good on you!" And if he got more votes because of it, that's fair and square, because, gee, BUSH FOUND BIN LADEN. If failure must be punished, shouldn't success be rewarded?

People who push the "October Surprise" theory are saying, "Dang it, Bush is winning the war?!? How the hell are we ever going to get into the White House if he keeps doing that?!?"
