First Lady: Does It Matter?
| Fri, 10-01-2004 - 4:03pm |
Laura Bush and Teresa Kerry give intereviews, make speeches, and in a variety of other ways campaign for their husbands. Is your vote influenced by who the first lady would be? I think you can tell something about a man by the type of woman he marries. I really like Laura Bush and think it reflects well on the President that he chose a bright, well-spoken, calm person for his wife. I also notice the body language of the couples, and I think it reflects something about the personality of the candidate. It would be interesting for a person with relevant training to analyze the body language between John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry: she often seems to pull away from him or turn her head if he leans to kiss her. I also find it unusual that both of Sen. Kerry's wives have had significant fortunes and wonder if that has influenced his choice of a wife.

Hi galanie! Welcome to the board!
I don't think anyone votes for or against a first lady, but she can certainly add to or detract from the campaign.
