I thought Laura Bush was great with her Chris Matthews interview today. What a contrast with the HRC scripted and evasive interview several weeks ago. Laura made a point of giving the US taxpayers credit for good works abroad and her husband, Pres GWB, credit for initiating and facilitating her trips to various countries. She really sparkled when Chris asked her about voting for a woman President. Said she would vote for a woman but differed on a number of issues with the one currently running for President. Emphatically and cheerfully said she would be voting REPUBLICAN. I liked her discussion of helping the women she met with and how she effectively addressed the scarf gift from those women who had been breast cancer survivors. She was nicer than I would have been about those who are straining to find something, anything, to grouse about this week. She also spoke about the SCHIP controversy, saying it was political, and a number of states now provide it for more adults than children and that the President was right to keep the money for those children who need it. She covered a lot more and IMO came across as a very great Republican asset who will do our party tremendous good this campaign season.
