<font size=4>TERESA: WE'RE DOWN IN ARIZONA? WHO CARES?
Finally, this dreary campaign has provided one great, fall-out-of-your-chair, laugh out loud moment.
It comes in a local Arizona television station's interview with Teresa Heinz Kerry. To see the video, go to this Arizona Republic page and click on the link that says, <font color=green>"Teresa Kerry talks about the campaign in Sun City."<font color=black>
The exchange goes like this:
12 News Reporter: Most of the polls are tracking that Sen John Kerry as doing a better job on the economy. My question is, why hasn’t that transferred overall in the poll numbers?
Teresa: <font color=blue>It has, of course. Of course it has.
<font color=black>
Reporter: He’s still down.
Teresa: <font color=blue>He’s not. Did you see the polls today? You saw Zogby and ARG —
<font color=black>
Reporter: Yes, but he’s still down in Arizona.
Teresa:<font color=blue> Oh, who cares? You know, one state is not a whole state. In the whole United States, he is even, even, and in some of them one point ahead, and in some one point behind.
<font color=black>
Her <font color=blue>"Oh, who cares"<font color=black> is just about the most priceless moment of this campaign. No matter what else happens this campaign, I have to thank the voters of Iowa for making sure we got to experience this absolutely perfect moment.
(sigh) Why not tell the whole state to <font color=blue>“shove it”<font color=black>, while you’re at it?
UPDATE: Upon reading, <font color=blue>"You know, one state is not a whole state. In the whole United States, he is even,"<font color=black> it appears that Kerry Spot readers around the globe, speaking as one, all simultaneously clear their throats and ask, "Ms. Heinz-Kerry, did you forget about the Electoral College? Winning the popular vote doesn't even get you a free cup of coffee at Starbucks — ask Al Gore." |
