In view of the Democrats' pre-emptive defamation and vilification propaganda tactics with the enabling establishment MEDIA's broadcasts, I think the Republican party should play it close to the vest until the 11th hour. If Condi was the Republican VP candidate it would really challenge the racism-mongers among the leftist Democrats and the NAACP.
Condi is a real classy lady, maybe too much of a lady for the vicious world of partisan politics.
The left always plays the race card.. it's getting tiresome.
My ONLY reservation with Condi is the absence of a voting record. Maybe that's just me, but I would like to see and hear more from her on Domestic policy.
