In the 1976 campaign, Boese remained neutral in the fight between President [[Gerald Ford]] and former California Governor [[Ronald W. Reagan]]. The Louisiana caucuses in May had gone heavily for Reagan. She was quite optimistic that Ford, who emerged the nominee (with Senator [[Bob Dole]] of [[Kansas]] as his running-mate) from the convention that met in [[Kansas City]], [[Missouri]], would yet defeat Democratic nominee [[Jimmy Carter]]: "The more I read those polls {with Carter far in front}, the more optimistic I am. I am expecting a Democratic Dewey, and I can hardly wait," she said, in reference to former [[New York]] Governor [[Thomas Dewey]], who lost the presidency in 1944 and 1948, though he had been favored in nearly all polls in the latter contest.<ref>''The Alexandria Daily Town Talk,'' July 27, 1976.</ref>
