SHE'LL BE CAMPAIGNING IN GUAM THIS NOVEMBER:

Heinz Kerry still outspoken — but off center stage (Martin Kasindorf, 9/28/04, USA TODAY)

Famed for independent-mindedness, Teresa Heinz Kerry is taking a new tack during the final countdown to Election Day. She's subordinating herself to her husband's campaign strategists — but only in where she goes, not in her outspoken ways. [...]

"Teresa has disappeared, by and large," says Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a public policy analyst at the University of Southern California. That's the way Kerry's aides prefer it because she is prone to controversial outbursts, Jeffe says. "Every time they let her out, she says something that they don't like."

So they've disappeared their candidates for vice president and first lady, now if they just had sense enough to hide John Kerry himself they might avoid a blowout.
