It seems the tone the Dems are trying to develop is:
Condi bad, inefficient, incompetent. Of course, who better to smear as incompetent as a Strong Black Woman.
They Fear Condi. And they are laying the groundwork against her for 08, to help HRH Hillary!ous.
The left views Rice as a "race trader" becaus she does not spout the Watters-Jackson line. Racism is alive and well in the Democratic Party.
