Bush and Rice have been joined at the hip since before he was president. She is one of a very short list of people that Bush trusts almost completely.
With Bush its Rice, Rove, Cheney, and just about no one else.
She is probably the smartest person to lead State in a long time. She is tougher than she appears at first glance on camera, remember when they tried to roll her during her confirmation hearings, and during the 911 commission. She is usually the smartest person in the room, whatever room she is in. And quite possibly the toughest.
I suspect we are looking at our next president.
Well said, and amen.
It's possible, but I don't know if she would want the hassle of the job, she is almost too smart for it.
And as an aside I am getting a kick out of the lightweight comments...
Have these chuck heads read her resume? Her work?
Thought not, that would make it hard to fault her. Got to be DU plants...
I wouldn't mind if you are right, but she's repeatedly said she isn't running.
Threads like these are eerily reminiscent of the flame wars back in '99 over who should be the Republican nominee.
Alot of folks (including the esteemed owner of this site) weren't too wild about Bush at the time.
As far as being tough, I'll just say that I wouldn't want to mess with her and leave it at that. I think there are those on this thread who would get themselves decimated in a few seconds flat under the right circumstances and left to lick the wounds resulting from a tangle with a (gasp) nice, talented little black woman.

You've said it so well, that now I don't have to.
