An overwhelming majority of voters believe it was wrong for Democratic nominee John F. Kerry to have mentioned in Wednesday's presidential debate that Vice President Cheney's daughter was a lesbian, according to the latest Washington Post tracking survey.

Nearly two in three likely voters -- 64 percent -- said Kerry's comment was "inappropriate," including more than four in 10 of his own supporters and half of all swing voters. A third -- 33 percent -- thought the remark was appropriate.

LOLOLOLOL

[eureka!]

Backfire. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy (not)....

[JLS]

So the winner of the debate was the winner of the debate before he was the loser of the debate?

I'm glad there's still some sanity left in this country.

Well that is abut right 33 percent or so of the population is in the Kook category anyway..

If this were an inadvertant, boneheaded comment by Kerry, it might be overlooked as a minor gaffe. But the fact that Edwards also brought Mary Cheney up in the VP debate means that it was a deliberate talking point. Who's running Kerry's campaign?! (Oh yeah...Hillary's people.)

[trashcanbred]

WoW!!!! Oh' Donnell on MSNBC should roll over and shut up. He kept telling Buchanan that Kerry was right to bring it up and the people understand... Guess not...

[kingattax]

he forgot to salute like carville and mary beth told him to.

[tomnbeverly]

Oh yeah that is Kerry's main base...

[Publius]

The equivalent of Dukakis not wanting to impose the death penalty on the murderer of his wife. Lee Atwater must be chortling.

[atomicpossum]

So even 40% of Kerry's only supporters got another indication that the man's a crapweasel....hee-hee.

[thulldud]

Everyone note, that THIS is the fellow who is going to recover our lost goodwill among the nations. "He's going to make them LIKE us!"

Uh, how, exactly?

[demlosers]

The Dork makes gaffes everyday.

I hope this backfires big time on him. It was such a sleazy thing to do.

[Clump]

With a debate "win" like that, who needs a loss?

[skaterboy]

And the dems pathetic speal about how we are ashamed of her and stuff was just icing on the cake

The equivalent of Dukakis not wanting to impose the death penalty on the murderer of his wife.

I thought I might bust a gut when I saw the photo of Mikey with that armored tank or whatever it was.

Translation: 2 out of 3 voters think Kerry was being a major league A-hole. Big time.

Oops..Tilt..back to scaring young folks about the draft, minorities about voter intimidation, old folks about social security....They'll just have to push the "people will get out of their wheelchairs and walk if Kerry is elected" harder,too.
