I am a Kerry supporter and like Teresa a lot for her wit and her outspokeness and many other traits. She is just a wonderful person. Having said that, I totally agree that JUDY DEAN IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
If this campaign were a contest for First Lady I wouldn't have any doubt that the Democrats would regain the White House in November. Judy Dean, Elizabeth Edwards, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Hadassah Lieberman are very different in style, demeanor and their approach to and involvement in their husbands' bid for the Presidency. But each of them in their very own way is genuinely likeable and really cool.
I also think that all of them complement their respective husbands perfectly and even out some of their perceived weaknesses.
I have nothing against Laura Bush or Lynne Cheney (okay, actually I really dislike Mrs. Cheney) but compared with the Democratic spouses they just come in behind.
While I would rather like to see JK in the Oval Office than HD, JE or JL I think that Teresa, Judy, Elizabeth and Hadassah would be each in her very own way great, amazing First or Second Ladies.
(I hope this campaign will help DK to also find this kind of wife! I saw something on TV about a first date of DK and a woman who won a newspaper "Who wants to be First Lady" contest. That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a Presidential campaign. You have to give it to Dennis: He has a great sense of humor)
