Well put. She wouldn't get any votes here either, even against Hillary. We'd sit it out.

Then, if Hillary were elected, you'd deserve what you get!!

Folks quit being in such a snit about this! For one thing, there is nothing in the article that gives any information about her position on the subject, other than the 'mildly pro-choice' mention. Even if she were 'mildly pro-choice', if there were a choice between her and ANY Democrat, there'd be NO QUESTION for whom I'd vote. Just which party gives even a passing pro-life mention? It sure isn't the Dems.

If Condi were able to get through the primary, and has beaten out any other pro-life candidates, then I would consider her the person the majority of Repubs. prefer. At that point, she would have run the gauntlet of the primary Repub. voters, and we know that they tend to be the most Conservative. At that point, we Conservatives would have to make a decision, but I'd hope it would be in regards to what the country would be like with the Dems back in charge, not only with regard to the abortion issue, but the whole issue of National Security as well. If you keep that in mind, there's no way the Dems should be in the White House again anytime in the foreseeable future!

As for the President "setting her up to run", who has put forth this notion, except the media? Frankly, if the media says anything about what the President is thinking or planning, I disregard it, because he certainly doesn't tell THEM before he tells everyone else!

It sounds like you are assuming that a pro-abort '08 candidate is inevitable. I don't think it is: our candidate selection is free-market driven, supply-and-demand. There's no invisible hand (besides the free-market within the GOP) that will force us to select someone with whose views we disagree.

I'm still undecided about Condi. Need to hear more. I'd also factor in the makeup of the SCOTUS in '08 into the decision.

Gotta be careful with that, though. "The People" usually have far too little involvement in who runs and who gets the support needed just to get to and through the primaries. Every one of us should be active in the pre-primary process before our choices are narrowed so much.
