Because she is.... wouldn't you if you were in her shoes?
Yes. On Larry King they behaved as if they had just begun dating and really didn't know each other.
It's all conjecture, but I think she wants Kerry-Edwards to fail so that she can save the party. Could she win?? She would do a whole lot better than Kerry. She might even keep Edwards for her VP.
They probably don't know each other at all. How much time do you think they actually spend together?
Given that he married her for her money, she surely couldn't have married him for his looks. I'm still trying to figure that one out. He got money but what exactly is she getting out of this deal - proximity to power (or some facsimile thereof)?
Plus, I believe there's an enormous vein of schadenfreude in the media. They see Kerry might pull it off, they don't like Kerry, they quit helping him; they see Edwards getting the plum job of vice-president on his gossamer credentials, they resent him, they attack.
There was that other picture where she was making the face when he was kissing her. But this one - where she actually fends him off with her hand - is very telling. In both pictures the body language suggests - as you say - she does not love him. She is unable to put on the proper front in public, even.
I think she got in the political groove via her first husband, a Republican. She just changed her name and her political affiliation last year (and sold her Italian mansion, one of eight) to be ready for Kerry's run. It looks to me like she doesn't enjoy this at all and is a reluctant nominee's wife. Seeing her on Larry King made that quite clear, to me anyway.
BTTT
Yep, me too.
LOL
bump and thanks!
thanks!
wish I had seen it.
A lot of people are first in their family to go to college, have broad smiles and cute little kids but that doesn't make them presidential.
