President Bush never called himself "pro-choice". He said he is pro-life and opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother. Rice says she's "pro-choice" and doesn't believe abortion should be against the law. Condoleezza Rice won't run (if you believe what she says), but if she does, she'll be defeated in the GOP primaries.

I suspect that Condi will not run for Prez - I agree there. Why the heck anyone would actually run for Prez now is beyond me, though.

If she does, however, it would be very tough for any single 'Pubbie now suspected to be on the list, to defeat her. Her stance on abortion and judicial activism is quite palatable for most conservatives and quite a few of the mushy middle, and her self-description of the details of her position there are very similar to President Bush's, regardless of the starting words. She might be beaten for nomination, but I maintain that she would easily win the general election if she were nominated.
