 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)."
