I met THK today in Bucks County, PA!

[October]

Problem is, I'm not enough of a techie to post the photo!!!

Anyway, the forum was on Women's Health issues.

Teresa is amazing.

Someone actually passed up a Heinz Ketchup bottle for her to sign -- and she did!

Lovely woman.

Later tonight, there was a gathering at a local "pub/restaurant"
in New Hope, PA -- all Dems! Music, signs, stickers, etc.

My new pin: We Relish Teresa!

4. She will always be Mama-T to me

When Teresa Heinz Kerry invited gay delegates at the July Democratic National Convention to "call me Mama T," the crowd burst into chants of "Mama T," "Mama T."
It was the kind of spontaneous love-fest Heinz Kerry has not always received on the campaign trail, where she has been described as more cerebral than emotional and where she has been on the receiving end of right-wing attacks.

It is easy to see why she connects with gays and lesbians. Even though she does not have gay children and opposes same-sex marriage, she comes across as the picture of a PFLAG mom, the kind of middle-aged straight woman who gets the warmest reception at Pride parades. If her husband is elected president, she pledges to make gay tolerance a centerpiece of her First Lady duties.
