Thanks, I like it (Lil lefty)....has a nice ring to it.

As far as Theresa Heinz Kerry, from what I've read on the internet, she at first didn't disclose her tax returns during the campaign, but after a "torrent of criticism", eventually disclosed a partial return. So my question is, if the Democratic spouse had to do it, why not the Republican spouse (Cindy)?

But back to the USA Today article, what it appeared to be saying was, yes, if the spouses are campaigning for their husbands, their statements are going to be heavily scrutinized. But, the article goes on to say, in the case of Michelle, the McCain camp took her remark out of context, and manipulated it to make her sound unpatriotic. The article implied there should be limits to the mudslinging, and the McCain group overstepped.
