Don't let it be said Bush isn't pulling out the stops. To get some sort of connection to young voters, Bush is whoring out his daughters who appear in a Vogue fashion shoot this month. Draped over couches in ball gowns, the girls had previously promised to "do something for the campaign."
Oh, I'm sure they'll be handed a script at some point. But let's be specific: the purpose behind parading presidential families is to provide a point of identification and fantasy projection for prospective voters. Young voting women are meant to look at the Vogue shoots, drool over the dresses, the surroundings, and see themselves aspirationally; voting men are meant to drool at the Presidential daughters-cum-Maxim models in gravity-defying strapless numbers.
When was the last time a president used his big, chesty daughters for re-election?
