President Bush sought backing from female voters Friday, asking them to look beyond rising violence in Iraq to a day when a democratically elected leader will lead the nation. He spoke at a "Focus on Women" event in a state where he holds a narrow lead. Nationally, women cast 52% of the votes in the last presidential election.
