Also, Christian Right denominations don't, generally, appreciate women as the first figure. An ideal woman, to the conservative branches of Lutherans and Baptists, and etc., is one who supports her husband, not one who speaks out or "wears the pants" in the family.

That's almost exactly what I would have said. Bush wants the Christian vote. Many people that would vote for Bush would rather have a woman that shuts up and makes a pretty smile. Kerry wants the woman vote, therefore his wife is portrayed as an individual who can accomplish big things on her own.
