NEW YORK (AP) - If the pollsters are right, first lady Laura Bush really is the president's better half. Polls show Laura Bush is more popular than her husband, which may be one reason the president gives her star treatment at his own campaign events.
Last week in Albuquerque, N.M., before the welcoming cheers had subsided, Bush told supporters he was sorry that his wife was not there.
"Today I'm going to give you some reasons why I think you ought put me back in there, but perhaps the most important one of all is so that Laura will be first lady for four more years," Bush said to applause.
Laura Bush's prominence and popularity in Bush's re-election effort will be on display Tuesday night, when the first lady addresses the Republican convention in prime time.

NEW YORK (AP) - Twins Jenna and Barbara Bush have no doubt about the secret to their father's success: their mother.
And, as devoted to cleanliness and organization as she is, every once in a while first lady Laura Bush lets loose a curse word to get their attention.
"I think if he had never met my mom, there's no way he could have been as successful as he is just because she is so stable and so supportive ... and so giving," Jenna Bush said in an interview for cable channel A&E's "Biography" series. ABC's "Good Morning America" aired a segment of the interview Monday.
"I mean, she travels and works for him ... but she would never think not to, you know? They just have a pretty unconditional love," Jenna said.
