More on the "Wife Question" from NRO's Corner: SO MUCH FOR THE WOMEN'S VOTE [Kate O'Beirne] A friend points out that no self-respecting woman could vote for a guy who gushes about his mother when he's been asked about his wife. Posted at 10:55 PM MaRRYING UP [Dave Kopel] With all due respect to my esteemed webmistress KJL, Kerry's "marrying up" line was a disaster. For the voters who are deciding on character rather than issues (many of the undecided and uninformed voters), the line was a stark reminder that Bush is still married to the girl of his youth, through all the ups and downs of his alcoholism and career. Bush did not "marry up"; he married down for the woman he loved. Kerry, in contrast, married up for his first wife, dropped her, and then married up big-time for his arrogant billionairess second wife. Which guy would you trust for steady leadership? Hugh Hewitt gives Kerry an "A" for his response to the question, but I think Hugh is dead wrong. Game, set, and match to GWB. Posted at 11:10 PM THE CORNER READERS ARE RIGHT [Michael Graham] You guys are over-thinking this stuff. Bush got the laughs. Bush loves his wife. Kerry loved his mother. By the way, that last question about their wives is the one resonating with my callers right now (11pm after the debate). Almost every caller has mentioned it. Watch for the "Wife" issue to get hot.
