Teresa speaking her mind, no matter what or John Kerry being elected?

It will not kill Teresa to watch her mouth for less than two weeks. She doesn't have to become arm candy, she doesn't have to give a Laura Bush mannequin grin, but she could be circumspect in making remarks that can damage her husband's chances.

Sometimes you have to compromise a little bit. Giving the Republicans anything to spin into a great big deal could hurt Kerry's chances, because this race is close.

It doesn't mean she can't speak, but she could avoid making misinformed remarks that can be taken and used against the Kerry campaign.
