Even at a youth gathering she managed
to step in it, this time at the last minute. This is a gathering
of YOUTHS (non voting age). She said to vote often and
vote well. Well .... kids can't vote, and voting 'often'
is illegal.

Heinz Kerry: "Vote often and vote well"

(Excerpt)
After attending a closed-door fund-raising reception at the Minneapolis Club, Heinz Kerry toured the West Side Youth Farm, a community gardening
project on a vacant, inner-city St. Paul lot where she admired flowers, sampled vegetables and chatted with youngsters involved in the program. But
she did not speak to reporters, who were not allowed to ask questions during her 45-minute visit.
Perhaps her campaign handlers wanted to make sure the usually outspoken and opinionated multimillionaire philanthropist didn't spark another
controversy, as she did when she told a conservative newspaper editorial writer to "shove it" or when she told a newspaper that "only an idiot"
wouldn't support her husband's health care plan. "Of course, there are idiots," she added.
Monday's visit was strictly a photo opportunity, designed to show the candidate's wife interacting with kids.
"Vote often and vote well," she said with a smile as she departed.
