WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush on Friday cast absentee ballots in the November 4 election that will decide who succeeds him, according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
"Today the president and Mrs Bush cast their ballots for the 2008 election during the early voting process. The ballots will be mailed back to Texas today," she said in a brief statement emailed to reporters.
"They plan to be here at the White House on election night," she said.
Later, Perino sent a follow up message. "I find this hard to believe ... But so many reporters have asked just who the president voted for, I guess I have to make it clear," she said.
"For months the president has said he supports John McCain for president and of course he voted for him."
