I was dissapointed in Kerry. I think that most Americans know that Cheney's daughter is gay, but her could have just as easily made his point without mentioning her. I don't think he was trying to denigrate her or the Cheney's, but it really did not come across well. That being said, both Dick and Lynne Cheney are happy to use anything to their advantage and frequently do use personal and family attacks on their opponents, so it is a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black. Still, Kerry should not have brought it up.
This was a social faux pas, but hardly something to sway someone's vote away from Kerry. I don't think we have numbers big enough to count all of Bush's faux pas'.
