What do you guys think of Condi running for Prez in 2008? What do you think of her chances against "Ruler of the World" wannabe Hillary Clinton?
"don't get me wrong but the American people will not elect another Bush."
I wonder how many folks said that in early 2000?
I don't think Jeb has given any indication he is even thinking of running.
The problem with female/non-white Presidents is they suffer from 'Pope Syndrome'. There are hate groups out there that step over the line of intolerance. If I remember correctly, Powell's family urged him to drop out of his run due to fear of assassination. The first non-white male to take office will live in a glass cage. Not to say this will never happen. It most likely will.
I did read where he has spoken to the rest of the Bush family about his financial situation in the event he does run.
Imagine for a moment a Black Female running for Prez on the Republican Ticket. How many blacks and women would that win over to the Republican Party. Our party is the "Racist" party according to most Liberals.

Well its still early yet. I would prefer someone new! But if he decides to run and is the nominee then of course he will get my vote.
Welcome to Free Republic, Joe. (Hope you have thick skin, kiddo!)
I'd love to see Condi run in '08, in any position! She's great and one can only hope that the Republican powers that be are grooming her for movement up the ladder (so to speak).
GO SWIFTIES GO and may God continue to bless America.

How about Condi Rice for my wife by 2008?
Just joking, but you get me here. As well as being a strong-willed, independant, and highly intelligent patriot-warrior, Condi is sexy as hell, and she has legs which go so high that they touch the sky (even nitwit terrorist Yassir Arafat noted how beautiful she is). If I didn't already know it, I would never have guessed that she was 50 (35 sounds about right). I do not mean any disrespect by this at all, and I'm sure there are many male freepers who think the same way that I do. She's damn near a perfect woman.
My two bits. Condi doesn't want to and never will. She's not a political animal, unlike the President or VP. She would make a wonderful Sec of State if Colin Powell leaves, and she is more-or-less doing some of that job already, but she's a super-intelligent diplomat type not a politician.
