“The problem with Condi is that it makes it Obama vs Bush...Condi will be grilled over her role in the leadup to the Iraq War, it’s going to open up a can of worms that was best left alone.’

The lead up to the war and the war has resulted in a safe America, and that war was a price we had to pay. Obama has followed those policies. This would not be a negative to argue.

While you may very well be right, that view is in the minority today.

The lead up to the (Iraq) war and the war has resulted in a safe America, and that war was a price we had to pay

That may well be true. History will be the judge.

But today most Americans believe that the Iraq war was a mistake. So putting Rice on the ticket will result in a net loss of votes, especially among the independents.

I agree, and I hate how the Ron Paulers love to start their arguments by trotting out the labels like “neocon” or “chickenhawks”. Maybe they don't realize we have a VOLUNTARY army, so men sign up and go where they are told. Now, I am not really for nation building and all that crap, but I am for fighting Al Queda THERE than over HERE.
