If Bush was elected would it be his wife’s decision if we went to war? After all, war has a harsh effect on a President. Maybe she doesn’t want the stress...
Bush needs to grow a pair...
This isn’t about whether she wants him to run, but whether she feels that she’ll be able to take the heat. She likes to stay out of the limelight, and I only remember seeing her once durning Bush’s entire governorship, and that was at a campaign appearance for W. She was very gracious ands arm (she’s very pretty and elegant, as I recall), but she’s obviously not interested in being the center of attention.
I think it’s hard for political wives because the expectation now is that the wife wants to be a sort of co-president and that she’s going to be politically powerful. Columba did a lot of fundraising for charities and cultural things in Florida and was particularly interested in Florida history and did a lot for our museums., but that was all she wanted to do. But the press will no longer permit that, so she’s got to decide if she’s up to having her every move scrutinized and having all the familY’s dirty laundry hauled out (they have a very difficult daughter). A Dem could get away with having Godzilla for a wife, but not a GOPer.
Also, she’s got to decide if she’s up to the bigotry she would face, as we can see from this thread.
