Instapundit - FOR ONCE, I'M IN THE MAJORITY:
abcnews.go.com

Fifty-seven percent say being homosexual is the way people are, not the way they choose to be - up from its level a decade ago. But likely voters by 2-1 also call it inappropriate for Kerry, when asked that question, to have noted that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter is a lesbian. Cheney himself mentioned his daughter's sexual orientation in a campaign appearance in August. . . .

Indeed only among one group, Kerry's own supporters, does a majority (52 percent) say it was appropriate for him to mention Mary Cheney. Among Democrats, 51 percent call it inappropriate; that rises to 64 percent of independents, 80 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Bush supporters.

I said it was a mistake.

<<What really annoys me is that the newspapers are reporting what some relative of a trooper told them. You know how inaccurate that will turn out to be. >>
