Unless Cheney decides to take an early retirement and Bush appoints a new VP.
A most probable scenario.
Rice in 2008?
>>Rice in 2008?<<
From your fingers to God's Ears.
Wouldn't she be the poopie in the punchbowl for Hillary?
hehehe!
It has been a very long time since a Secretary of State was elected POTUS.But before the Civil War there were a number of them - which made sense considering that the federal government was created for foreign affairs - protection from the British and the War of 1812 in particular. In modern times the Democratic Party has essentially taken an "it's the economy, stupid" attitude to its relationship to foreign affairs.
re: Rice in 2008
Amen! I can't think of a single person I would rather see head the Republican ticket in 2008. This one amazing woman and she deserves the nomination. A lot can change between now and then, but for now it's Rice for me!
Its intriguing to ponder a run by Condi in 2008, when you consider what we've recently learned of her comment to a British journalist concerning Jessie Jackson's bid for President. (parapharased) "Now that he's shown that he has a chance, they'll come out of the woodwork to denounce him." And they did. Perhaps it is time in our history to consider not only a woman President, but one who repudiates the inherent racism of not only those who could never accept an African-American President but also that of the so called Black Leadership. This places Condi in a very unique position. I'd vote for her, I suspect. I told someone the other day, showing them the story of GWB's actions in Chile, "This is why I supported this man." He's the kind of man I'd like to be myself, and want my son's to be. Condi lives up to that same standard. Adults in charge.
