First Lady Laura Bush speaks at the 2008 Republican National Convention on Sept. 2

She remains her husband's best surrogate and a beloved figure who transcends party lines — and the president's dismal poll numbers.

They welcomed her with thunderous applause and kicked off the primetime portion of the night with a positive jolt.
