One day, some day it will catch up with her.

Condi Rice is anti-abortion?
That's news to me.
This seems like a lot of idle rumors and unsupported facts. I don't think we should be speculating on the Vice President's health, or wishing him to resign.
She appears to be a sociopath, and so does her husband.
Their continued involvement in anything related to national policy and foreign involvments is a complete disaster.
Why is this person still in the news when what she is, and what she does is totally unimportant?
I don't think we should speculate on Cheney's health, but I definitely agree that Condi would be a dynamo in '08. She may have a little difficulty stemming from the fact that she has not run for elected office before, but I believe that she is skilled enough to overcome it.
Can you imagine how sweet it would be to have the first black woman president a REPUBLICAN? The libs would be having spasms uncontrollably! ;)
8 years of Clintonesque machinations was revealing enough!
Hold On! The way to dispell a boggart is to LAUGH at it;
see it in a humorous vein; see it in ridiculous lumination.
But I digress...
....is us!
Generally I think this is true, but there could be some problems gaining support for Condi among the "good old boys" in the rural South and Midwest. This potential problem is not being discussed in corporate media because of its unsavory racial overtones. But I'm sure GOP pollsters will be quietly researching the strength of Condi's support in the reddest counties of the red states. I hope she has strong support there but I'm not so sure about it.
We will be mighty sick of the few national names being bandied about over the next 2+ years, from both parties.
Hillary won't even declare until after the '06. Allot can happen before then. Two years of 'if', 'when', 'what if', will get very old.
The same about Dr. Rice. And Guilini. And Kerry. And McCain. And Edwards. And Hagel.
If Hillary does get the '08 nod, she will have positioned herself to be more conservative than any in the previous paragraph. That is her win-win. Her party would have no where else to go, except their anointed one; and many right-wing conservatives don't see any RINOs as significantly viable alternatives.
Who else, so far, has come out against illegal immigration? You think that wasn't Hillary plan--to force the rest of the field (both parties) into uncomfortable or untenable positions. She will do similar on more issues in the coming months. Kerry and the Dems won't have the luxury of taking all sided on every issue; and neither will the Republicans. Hillary is already pushing the defense issue, too. That will marginalize the Deaniac and Hollywood wing--but where else are they going to go?
Yeh, Hillary is playing a cunning and determined game---against those in her own party, and the potential Republican contenders for '08.
You're right about that! If you thought the Swift Boat Vets were tough on Kerry, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Just wait until Arkansas Residents for Truth gets rolling and fires both barrels at the Hildabeast. After we FReepers and some new 527s are finished with her, the Hildabeast would be demolished at the polls by any reasonable GOP candidate. Hitlery has more skeletons in her closet than Jack Kervorkian.
She has to emerge from that campaign bloodied and battered. She has to face running away from the Democrat party toward America and abandoning her base. Can she put socialism on hold for three years? The issue must be forced.
Do we know this as fact or is it merely conjecture? I'll require proof before jumping on the bandwagon. Give me more information on Rep. Tancredo too.
P.S. If there is another significant act of terrorism before the election of '08, Republicans will blamed for it, probably rightfully so.
Condi Rice is an attractive prospect.
But.
She is pro Affirmative Action.
She may or may not be pro life. No one knows.
She has never been elected to any office and thus will have no experience at all campaigning. This is a crushing disadvantage.
I think she has no family credentials, never having married.
I know of no evangelical credentials, either.
It will be hard for her to gather the base plus the other factions that are required to undo the Democrats. Fracturing the black vote is not enough -- and don't take for granted she can do even that.
I love Condie, but I never thought she was conservative on the social issues. She is absolutely pro-America, and pro-defense. I'm not sure where she stands on taxes.
If this plays out, Hillary will put John Kerry to shame (if that's possible). She will have managed the flip-flop of an entire party. This strategy can't win, however. Even Howard Dean won't be able to produce voter turnout in the face of such overwhelming cognitive dissonance.
I believe Rice's father was a Presbyterian minister.
However, you are right, she herself has no public credentials that I know of as far as religion goes. She seems to keep that part of her life private.
Also, I agree, we don't know if Rice is pro-life or not; and, it is a "crushing disadvantage" that Rice has never campaigned for herself in any kind of election to political office.
