Election 2004
Candidates 'party on'
By Associated Press
Published November 5, 2003
The candidates were asked by a young woman at Tuesday's debate who they would most like to "party with."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich would like to cut loose with Al Sharpton, but the reverend said he'd prefer Sen. John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
"I was going to choose Carol Moseley Braun," Kerry said to Sharpton. "But now I'm going to have to choose you so I can keep an eye on my wife."
Sen. Joe Lieberman joked he might not choose his wife, either.
"I hope my wife understands this," he said. "I'd like to party with the young lady who asked that question."
Maybe Heinz Kerry could see what was coming.
In an interview published in the Boston Herald Tuesday, she said nine-way presidential debates are "silly" and a waste of time for the candidates and the voters.
"I don't think it really helps the American people, I don't think it helps the candidates," Heinz Kerry said.
