Family Circle Readers. In the magazine's First Lady Cookie Cook-Off, readers voted for Laura Bush's chocolate chunk recipe over Teresa Heinz Kerry's pumpkin cookies, the fourth straight time they have picked the election winner since the contest began in 1992 (when Hillary Rodham Clinton baked cookies to atone for a disparaging remark about housewives).
Mrs. Heinz Kerry tried - in vain, apparently - to distance herself from the pumpkin recipe, which she said she had never seen, let alone tested. It was submitted by a staff member after Mrs. Heinz Kerry's original entry, an oatmeal-coconut cookie, was rejected by the magazine because it contained an ingredient, Lyle's Golden Syrup, not readily available in supermarkets.
The what-if's will doubtless haunt Kerry campaign officials for years to come.
