These were founding Fathers! They built the foundation on which the most important chair sits! You would compare their paths to greatness to a provost, wannbe NFL commissioner who parrots Bush's policies simply because they share the common ground of not holding elected office prior to being elected president? You lost me right here.

Disciple, your points lose their objectivity every time you use invective against Dr. Rice, our Secretary of State. By referring to her as a "hack", a wannbe[sic] Commissioner, someone obscured in "darkness"- you only lead one to the ineluctable conclusion that you just don't like her-
Now that's fine. But it adds little to an objective analysis of her chances to be President.

As for your comment about the founding fathers and generals, you still beg the question. Your original point was that someone without legislative experience cannot be a viable presidential candidate, and based on the examples cited- that's manifestly erroneous.

You are promoting SoS like it's a natural spring board to the presidency. Condi is Bush's mouthpiece. She's not doing or saying anything that Bush isn't telling her to do or say.

I understand that she's an intelligent woman with an enormous amount of expertise in foreign affairs. That alone does not grant her the GOP nomination. Does she have any experience with tax policy? Social programs? Crime? Welfare? Spending policy? Budgets? No on all counts.

Simply being "the most powerful woman" or five steps away from the presidency means that Albright is just as qualified to be president.

Jefferson and Adams had legislative experience in that they wrote the historical documents that this country was founded upon. Rice has done nothing in that order for you to even put her name in the same sentence with theirs.

She was a good NSA and may be a great SoS, but she's a private citizen in 2008.
