Taking a page from her father's campaign playbook, a daughter of Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry on Monday criticized the Bush administration for its handling of the crisis in Haiti.

"I believe this administration just helped overthrow, basically overthrow, a democratically elected president," Vanessa Kerry, 27, said during a campaign stop at Stony Brook University. "We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed."

Vanessa Kerry also fielded questions from about two dozen students on subjects ranging from the war in Iraq, foreign policy, reproductive rights and gun control. She said one of her key interests in joining the campaign was health care.

She is a third-year Harvard medical student who said she's taking time off from school to work on the campaign.

5. Vanessa is incredible

I was lucky enough to meet her at an event and spoke with her for some time. She is a medical student and has taken the year off to campaign for her dad. She told me that Senator Kerry did not want her to do that but she insisted. You can tell she simply adores her dad.
