Bush girls lose White House battle of the daughters

THE war for the White House is being fought on many fronts, and among the battles is that between the Bush twins and the Kerry daughters.

President George W Bush and his Democratic challenger John Kerry know the value of family in a political campaign.

And the daughters of both men have vowed to do all they can to help get their fathers elected at the November poll, even if it meant being booed for their appeals to young voters at the MTV Music Awards in Miami at the weekend. The 22-year-old Bush twins, Jenna and Barbara, took to the stage at the Republican national convention early yesterday.
