Actress pushes for women pols

     Kristin Davis, who portrays Charlotte on HBO's "Sex and the City," wants women to think more about politics — and their role in it.
     "I want to try to support women and make them aware there's a myriad of choices out there, politics being one of them," the 36-year-old Davis said at a fund-raiser for a non-partisan political group whose goal is to get women elected to public office.
     Cultivating female candidates is especially important for a state that ranks 50th in the number of women in elected office, said Davis, a Columbia, S.C. native.
     "Having grown up in the South, I think you sometimes need to show women that just because you have a career and an interest in politics, (that) doesn't make you unfeminine," she said.
     Davis said ttraditional Southern values of family and community favor women's political interests, and that mroe women in office could improve education, child development and health care in South Carolina.
     "I think for any woman who's going to be in political office, that's going to be on top of their list," Davis said.
