Yet another Poll: Your Favorite First Lady [View All]

So who was your favorite First Lady? and why? I left Laura Bush off the list because she is still in her incumbency. Also, regret to say I wanted a list to go back to Eleanor Roosevelt, so due to lack of space I also decided to take off one other first lady--this time I picked a Democratic first lady--Mrs. Truman, who didn't enjoy being first lady and kept a low profile. But if you wish to write in either Laura or Bess please do.

Cheers.

Oh, my choice is Betty Ford. I love Mrs. Roosevelt but I thought Betty was a very strong first lady too and I grew up during her time in office. She was outspoken in favor of the ERA and very pro-choice and didn't mind saying so. She gave a famous interview on 60 Minutes and said she would stand by her daughter if she had an abortion which caused a firestorm.
