"I think we have sort of a Donovan McNabb phenomenon going on here - people very desirous that she succeed in politics because she is a black woman."

Isn't this frightening?

Rice is more liberal than Bush is, and people on this board are always crying about how "Bush isn't a real Conservative" - and these are the same people infatuated with Rice.

I agree with Bill Owens. Karl Rove can take care of throwing Hildy's stink bombs back at her.

I have great respect for Condi Rice, but she's a non-starter for Prez. She's never held elective office and has no base of support. She's pro-abortion. She would make a terrific Secretary of State in the next administration. She would be a possibiiity for V.P.

and these are the same people infatuated with Rice.

Actually, I kind of doubt that. The Bush Bashers have no horse in the 2008 GOP race, because they aren't Republicans, either actually, or in name.

I think it's more out of a desire to stick it to the Dems than any actual desire to see Condi elected to some office.

Dittos on that - why do we want a moderate heading the ticket in 2008?

Why are we looking at the cover and not the book?

I am 10 times more impressed with guys like Herman Cain
(GA senate candidate) than I am with yet-another-RINO-in-the-tent.

Everyone, dont wait for 2008, and dont waste 2008 on a moderate... 2005-2006 is the CONSERVATIVE MOMENT. We will have to make the most of it!!

I've noticed that too. Don't misunderstand. I like Condi Rice and I think she is very good at what she does as far as I can tell, but I don't think she is presidential material, at least not on a Republican ticket.
