It was a cheap shot that was meant to show "understanding and compassion." All it really showed was Kerry's real character, or rather, lack of it.

Imagine if President Bush invoked Teresa's name while debating mental health care.

no it wasn't. it was meant to alert the "religious right" that there was a homosexual in the Bush campaign. nothing compassionate about it.

It will backfire big time! Just wait, the Swifters will take care of him!! Or, their wives!!!

You'll notice W didn't say "ask kerry's first/real wife how she felt about the influence she'd had on kerry".

No, it was meant to get those 4 million evangelical voters who stayed home in 2000 to do the same in 2004.

It wasn't a cheap shot to show "understanding and compassion" by Kerry, it was Kerry outing Cheney's lesbian daughter so the religious right is sure to know. Tacky, low and well...pretty much to be expected from these losers.

I disagree. It was not supposed to show anything other than what it was...a blatant attack on a child of a political opponent. It will not die. Kerry stepped on it. He knows it. McAulliffe knows it. His whole party knows it.
