There are few people so homophobic that they will not vote for Bush because Cheney has a lesbian daughter. I cannot think of anyone that I know, off hand.

The mention of Cheney's daughter's sexuality, as tasteless as it was, is indicative of Kerry's campaign's incredible lack of political finesse, which were first put on exhibition at the Convention. You might recall that Kerry's controversial Vietnam experience was stupidly made its centerpiece. It was also shown when Edwards' ghoulishly remark made before C. Reeves's body ws cold that if Kerry were President, he would be able to walk.

If the mention of Cheney's daughter was designed to somehow get the evangelical vote, how can it be reconciled with Kerry's views on abortion? Perhaps there are 125 homophobic pro-choice evangelicals in the nation he was pandering to, and he felt their vote was so important that he believes the political damage due to such a stupid remark was worth the risk.
