Will Laura Bush run for the Senate from Texas?

[CK_John]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[TwilightGardener]

1. Why not? She could take Kay Hutchison's seat in 2010.

[CK_John]

3. That's what I was thinking. n/t

[firedupdem]

2. I think she wants to hide as much as her husband does...I can't

see this happening.

[Hieronymus]

23. They both want out of the White House .. Now.

[yardwork]

4. No.

[Autumn]

5. I don't see why not , but

:puke: :puke: the thought of it makes me sick.

[Hutzpa]

6. Only the Clintons are allowed

to do that, besides Laura is not a political hawk, she does not strike me as that anyway.....


:evilgrin:

[Evergreen Emerald]

16. Really?

[crispini]

7. No, she won't.

She's not interested in that kind of thing; she's never been much of a player. She was a librarian, remember? Hey, that's one comfort -- maybe she'll do cool things for the Dallas public library system.

[Bjorn Against]

9. Like stocking it with extra copies of "My Pet Goat" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by chance...

I mean honestly if she wasn't able to convince her own husband to read above a second grade level I have a hard time believing she would do much to improve our libraries.

[crispini]

11. hahahahaha.

Poor thing, I suspect she's going to be glad to be out of the spotlight.

[kestrel91316]

8. She's too lazy and pampered to bother. It would mean she'd have to at least

PRETEND to care about people and do her job.

No way.

[LiberalFighter]

10. That is the closest to my opinion of her running for the seat.

She would go nuts having to do something for real and with 99 other Senators.

[Danger Mouse]

12. I really doubt it. She doesn't seem to be interested in politics.

[Genevieve]

13. She doesn't seem to be interested in politics.

Just like her husband.

[Danger Mouse]

15. LOL....you're right about that.

So, is it worse when Bush doesn't do anything (like in 2008) or when he actually does stuff?

[AllentownJake]

18. Yeah but I don't think she has daddy issues or spousal issue (other than being married to a drunk)

and if she does..they aren't that she has to be better than her daddy or her husband.

If she does nothing, touches nothing, and says nothing for the rest of her life...she's done more for her country than her husband. She's at least not moving it backwards.

[whistler162]

14. Who cares? At least she is a Texan and not a

transplanted Illionian/Arkansan carbetbagger!

[ccharles000]

21. I wouls not mind Hillary as my senator.

She is wonderful.

[whistler162]

27. Don't care good or bad....

she should have run from Arkansas or Illinois.

[AllentownJake]

17. She has nothing to prove so I doubt she'd run

I think she's content to go back to the Dallas social scene sleep in a seperate bedroom and wait for her daughter to have a kid.

She's never struck me as wanting any kind of political career on her own what so ever and seems content to live in comfort in Dallas with her friends for the rest of her life.

Plus I think she secretly might have voted for Obama.

[emilyg]

19. no.

[AlinPA]

20. We have too many stupid republicans.

[MilesColtrane]

22. Hell no

She's not interested, and the Alpha Chimp wouldn't stand for it anyway.

[PfcHammer]

24. It was an arranged marriage and she don't got the balls needed to campaign.

Kay is nasty. Former cheerleader/snoozereader. :puke:

[Honeycombe8]

25. That'd be a big n-o. 10-4. nt

[TexasObserver]

26. I hope she does. She'll be beaten like a drum.

She makes W sound like a Rhodes Scholar, and the Bush name is a liability now, even in Texas.

I don't see her doing it. She wants to get back to Texas, live separately from W, and be the stuck up bizzatch she's always been, hanging with her SMU friends.

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. I can't see that ambition in her at all.

[Fleshdancer]

29. Laura become a politician? I doubt it...

She hasn't shown any interest in getting into politics so I don't see why she would now. I'm not convinced she's even a republican.

[mtnsnake]

30. Laura has the wrong kind of name recognition, so no, she won't run

[WinkyDink]

31. No way, no how.

[mwei924]

32. She'd be better than Jeb.

[BlueGirlRedState]

33. I think she will work to promote literacy if anything

She had a hand in the Texas Book festival that showcased Texas authors. But I think she'd just like to crawl under a rock. In Dallas. In an expensive neighborhood. And wait for the grandkids.

[ACTION BASTARD]

34. Female? Texas? Republican Female in Texas wanting office? LULZ

[political_Dem]

35. All I have to say is that to prevent such ridculousness from happening,

start to put quality Dems up in the elections and fight to turn the state blue. There's a new kind of politics in America now. We can't give up valuable leadership positions to place-holders.

We've got to continue to fight for every seat--vunerable or not--across the country.

We cannot afford ever to concede a seat to anyone without credentials or qualifications ever again.

[Cleita]

36. Laura likes to enjoy her cocktails and cigarettes at sunset.

I feel she has no interest whatever in going back to Washington to burn the midnight oil unless she's as lazy as her husband.
