Ditto that. Some would squeel that Bush was anointing his successor, but, frankly, I'd trust Bush and Rove with the lives of my family, so I'd trust them to pick a successor (particularly if one or two likely candidates do not emerge by the end of this year). I think it would be exciting to have Condi move to head of the class.
Personally, I don't see what would be wrong about that, especially if were to be Condi. She and the President obviously see eye-to-eye on foreign poiicy. What we don't know about her is her views on domestic policy. Like Rudy, I suspect she might be "too liberal" for some. However, if the Middle East does take a dramatic turn for the better in the next three years, Condi would almost be a shoo-in despite the usual "real" conservative clamor.
