First lady tours Muslim East Africa

By JENNIFER LOVEN

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (AP) — Traveling in Africa in part to empower its often disenfranchised women, Laura Bush said Wednesday she would not automatically vote for a woman in a field of candidates for president of the United States.

"If a woman were to run, it would be exactly the same thing I would consider in any other election — and that is who I think has the best character, whose views are similar to mine," Bush told reporters as her plane brought her here from Cape Town, South Africa.

She raised — and then quickly rejected — the idea of supporting a Democrat. "I would vote for, in most cases, the Republican," she said and then added after a pause, "Maybe I should say in all (cases)."

Her predecessor as first lady, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, is likely seen as a potential Democratic candidate for 2008. Other women have also been mentioned as eventual White House hopefuls such as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas.

and, Laura is a First Lady still in search of 'a cause'???

Why is there even any mention of the 2008 election? The first 5 paragraphs should've been cut.

How is the gang cause going?
