Has Condi ever been married?
She just isn't your cup of tea no matter what the answer to your real question. Just move on.
"Has Condi ever been married?"
Not that I know of. However, cast against the beast, I don't think that would be such an insurmountable problem in this day and age given her capabilities. Nor do I think her lack of elected office is certain barrier either - against the beast an honest garbage collector is preferable. The real issue, as this wildfire and lunatic thread attests, is that Dr. Rice is pro-choice. I used to have the link (can be found somewhere here about in a search) to a speech she made where she confirmed her personal views. She is, until she says differently, a pro-choice Republican and that lands her firmly in the 'not-interested' list for pro-life voters who will vote exclusively on their values.
I gave up reading all the invective, insults and tripe at the beginning of this thread because the divisions and emotion are far more instructive than anything either camp is hurling at each other. The fact is stark - a Rice nomination will divide the party and enable a victory for the beast. The Republicans, once again, will ask the ones that brought them to the dance to sacrifice their values and agenda for the sake of togetherness and further victory and, clearly, more compromise.
The clear solution, as this firmly conservative anti-abortion activist sees it, is for Dr. Rice to sacrifice HER values and pledge - clearly - to serve the party platform and its commitment to repeal Roe v. Wade. In this way, she shows service and leadership by submerging her ideas for the good of the party and the nation. In this way she will win the unalloyed support of pro-life people. In this way, she will inject integrity and guts into the tired and hackneyed phrase of the Leftist slimebags that always, all-ways and ALWAYS trot out the lying line: "Personally, I'm against abortion, but I won't force my views on others or government policy." Hillary wouldn't stand a chance on 'values' after such a stance.
In my view, a Rice candidacy that follows the above script would retain party unity and defeat the beast. The upshot of another four years would juggernaut the rest of the rubble remaining from a permanently vanquished krinton dynasty in the RAT empire. Some of the fence sitters would take an honest woman with pro-choice sympathies but with enough integrity to serve her party's wishes. The contrast would further deliniate the evil one's hypocrisy and force the RAT's to the wall on this issue alone since race, gender and achievement will be moot points in 2008 with a Rice foreign policy in place, and possibly, two years in the VP seat.
In sum, it will be Dr. Rice that must change. That would be the noble, just and fair thing to do. In extremis, if she doesn't recant and the beast retakes the throne, then four more years of accelerated Leftist crime will only sharpen the point of the primacy of pro-choice politics in conservative circles. In 2012, after four more krinton years, you can be sure that Republican leadership would not forget the drubbing they will suffer if they continue to ask for unrequited service from their most effective foot soldiers again.
