"I think Condi would be political gold..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you get the impression that only a handful of us get it?

Having a conservative black woman on the ticket would indeed be political gold for the GOP. But then again she's pro-choice, which would piss off a lot of social conservatives. And were she to run for the nomination in 2008 as sitting VP, the media would label anyone NOT supporting her -- her light resume, ideological weakness, and untested campaigning being three excellent reasons to support a stronger candidate like Jeb or Sanford or Pawlenty -- as racist. Republicans end up castigated as bigots and religious radicals while Democrats savage Condi as an Uncle Tom.

Political fools gold . . .

Condi Rice would be a brilliant choice for Vice President, EXCEPT SHE IS PRO-CHOICE.

Having a pro-choice Republican be the nominee for President in 2008 may tear apart the Republican party.

I won't comment on your assessment of Condi's resume as "weak". That comment was silly on its face. I will tell you that Jeb cannot run with George, and no one cares about Sanford or Pawlenty. I'm waiting for one of the Goobers to mention Alan Keyes, now that you've brought Sanford and Pawlenty up.

I should also tell you something else. Putting Condi on the ticket would do two things: trump a Dean selection of Her Heinie and appeal to white and Hispanic working women. Condi is NOT designed to appeal to black voters. Too many black voters think of "Condi" and "race traitor" in the same thought process. Unfortunately, the black political community in this country thinks that people like Mary Frances Berry and Aaron McGruder are the epitomes of reason. She could bump Bush above the 15 percent level in the black community, however, which would be an electoral catastrophe for the Dems.

So the Usual Suspects scream "Uncle Tom". So f*%king what? They weren't going to vote for Bush anyway. The white and Hispanic swing voters will, however. And Condi will let the air out of the Hillary for VP balloon real fast, something that the Democratic Party's prison bitches in the media will be pumping up once Dean locks up the nomination.

Be Seeing You,
