Heres an interesting twist on the adoring political spouse: Does it matter to voters if a wife or husband really, really doesnt want to be part of the campaign?
The former Saturday Night Live writer, 55, met the glamorous bachelor in 1995 when he was still in office. The two fell in love and then I lured him to my hometown, New York City, when he decided not to run again, she wrote. They married in 2001 and settled in Greenwich Village where theyve raised their son Henry, now 10.
Describing herself as secretive and so private, Paley said she doesnt much like politics or anything that requires social interaction. (My idea of a good time is when people cancel.) What do you think about Nebraska, Ms. Paley? The Midwest is a strange land for an Easterner of my ilk, she wrote, describing anti-abortion billboards and the deer carcasses her son frolics among. Oh, and take note, Cornhuskers: She doesnt like football.
Is this Paley being funny? Or is it as some critics suggested a condescending, East Coast put-down? A few Nebraskans noted that her essay wasnt written for voters, but for Vogue, for whom she posed wearing a Narciso Rodriguez dress and Manolo Blahnik heels.
We reached out to Paley, who did not respond to requests for comment. Kerrey told the Omaha World-Herald that while it might appear his wife is making fun of Nebraskans, she is just a comedian trying for laughs.

I believe that's true of the majority of the state (the red part). Unfortunately, Omaha voted for Obama in 2008, so heaven only knows if OPS indoctrination will work again.
Oh man, just dawned on me:
Harry Kerrey = Harry Carey...
Poor kid, that must have been his moms idea of a joke too.
Don’t worry Sarah, you’ll be taking his ass back home to NYC in a few months.
“Age has not been kind to Skeletor, has it?”
Name me one Lib who has aged well.......
Why wait ? They might as well go home to NYC now. Kerrey will be lucky to get within 20% of Deb Fischer.
The guy looks dead...he’d fit in perfectly with Lautenberg...but it ain’t happening.
And, she's the wife of the candidate, not the candidate itself..
That a great line! Elections have been won with much less.
