I don't know Franks politics that well. But I love his Military expertise.. how about SOD?
Condi, would like to see more of her.. I think this SOS position will help to further establish her and her strengths, but will have to wait and see. Just need to see more of everyone and understand their positions on foreign AND DOMESTIC policies. I'll not blindly support anyone. Some Goppers think we've got no where else to go, but sadly they are wrong. I'm perfectly happy to save my dollars and watch it all on TV if there is not a candidate that shares my strongest views and has a record of proof. That's the problem with Condi or Franks.. there is no voting record. Perhaps she will run for Govenor??
Although I respect your view, I am opposed to the notion that one needs some sort of government experience to be elected President. I am of the mind that the intention of the Founders was for high achieving folks from the private sector to enter governemtn positions, then go back to their private lives. You might, however, argue they should have included term limits in the Constitution, and you would be right.
I think the Primaries are an excellent venue for vetting potential candidates (hey I used two "v" words in a sentence). That debate gives us a great deal of insight into the candidate.
