I happen to believe that Heinz-Kerry's birthplace wasn't a big deal to most people; what was a big deal is that most people just plain didn't like her. She's very opinionated, and sometimes just made no sense with the things she said. I just don't remember her birthplace being a big deal at all.

No politics intended -- only a question of if there would be fair play. It simply occurred to me when I read that Jeb's wife was born in Mexico.
I agree that a lot of people didn't like Ms. Kerry -- myself among them, although not to the extent of some. But as I said at the time, I intended to vote for one of the husbands for President, not for one of the women for First Lady.
I think it was a fairly big deal for a while (see GP's post above), but subsided.
