Do you think all NSA advisors or SOS heads to be viable POTUS candidates?

I haven't endorsed Condi for POTUS. I've simply taken the antithesis of the position thatou posted with the following remark;

If she were a white male, most would have trouble remembering her name. Would she be considered spectacular? She is considered that as much because of what she is and where she came from as much as what she has done (which is pretty fancy but not off the charts). Besides, academic and political staff uber-achievement is not indicative of good political skills. She is a black female serving an (R) president and would assumedly run as an (R).

Her contributions in the WOT are very important. As I said: Condoleeza Rice has been the National Security Advisor to the POTUS over the last four years. That makes her the chief adviser to the POTUS on security issues and foreign policy. Three of the past four years includes the WOT during which time a remarkable effort has been made and a remarkable result has been achieved in the WOT. Rice now appears to be continuing her important work as SOS.

Did you go Ga-Ga over Colin too?

Your question follows logically from nothing that I've said. That makes your question "ga-ga".

Do you think she singlehandedly formed Bush's foreign policy? Hardly in my view.

"Singlehandedly" is how you put the question. Nice straw-man attempt.

I think she simply appeals to your emotive reasoning about who would "look good" to run and substance is secondary.

Again, I've not endorsed her. You emote stupidity.

Well I guess that settles it. You win. You're too smart for me.
