From "Person of the Week, Laura Bush"
February 18, 2004
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/WNT/US/laura_bush_campaigning_040218-2.html

"At the Four Seasons Hotel in Newport Beach, Calif. — her second fund-raiser on the trip — the first lady took in $170,000 for the campaign.

She is an extraordinarily successful fund-raiser, collecting more than $5 million so far. Some campaign officials call her "the secret weapon."

Laura Bush's strengths, said one Democratic pollster who has asked voters about her, are her steadiness and warmth.

"They like her because they think she's dignified and ladylike," said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. "They like her because she reinforces his message on education. They like her because she seems so down to earth. They also like her, particularly women, because they think she counters a little bit of his macho, shoot-from-the-hip style."

In a close race, the first lady's broad appeal and political toughness could be crucial assets for her husband's re-election bid. [hahahaha "could" hahahaha]
