Wasn't Laura Bush a registered Democrat until she married her husband?
I sometimes forget that people don't always register for political parties that reflect their own political leanings. Where I grew up, it's more advantageous to register as a Republican so you can vote in the primaries. Here in NYC, it's probably more expedient to register as a Democrat since there is rarely a Republican primary. I guess it also helps when you're marrying into a Republican dynasty, LOL.
