With Teresa, expect an unconventional campaign
<PITTSBURGH — In her small voice, her words tinged with her native Portuguese, Teresa Heinz Kerry talks about personal things.

How eerie it is to be back with the Secret Service and a motorcade just blocks from where she had her babies, married John Heinz and memorialized him after his death. And — "this is a hard thing to say" — how her late husband introduced her to her second husband on Earth Day 1990. How proud she is to "share with you my family" — two of her three sons and husband John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate. (Audio photo gallery: In her own words)

"She's got a telltale gut. She can tell what's real and what isn't," Kerry says of his wife. He laughs. "Will she tell me that I'm full of it when she thinks I am? Sure." Sample observation: "You weren't as direct as you could have been."

She still hasn't forgiven Santorum, who had suggested John Heinz was not conservative enough. Some Republicans haven't forgiven her. "Her record warns us that she'll be more of a character than she will display character," Republican columnist Ruth Ann Dailey wrote Feb. 16 in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Her lack of graciousness in local politics is particularly startling."

"People say I'm blunt," she told donors at a reception in Philadelphia. "I say, 'No, just honest.' Enjoy it. And you don't go to jail for it.">

1. The more I learn about her, the better I like her.
She's smart, dedicated, and kind. Teresa Heinz Kerry will be a genuine asset to the presidency of her husband.

4. "Americans are preoccupied with numbers"
"Americans, she says, are preoccupied with numbers. Then comes a remark you can't imagine from anyone else in public life: "It's like if you don't have a size 48 bust you're not sexy; if you're not 24 you're not attractive. It's so limiting and uninteresting."

:D :D :D

I so love this woman. She is going to make this country sit up and take stock of itself, no doubt about it.
