August 9, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would be right up there in the 2008 Republican presidential race with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain if she were to run, a poll shows.

Giuliani is the top pick of Republican and Republican-leaning voters at 27 percent, followed by McCain (Ariz.) at 24 percent and Rice at 19 percent, according to the CNN-Gallup poll conducted Friday through Sunday.

All other Republican prospects are in single digits in the poll. Gov. Pataki is favored by just 3 percent and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.) by 9 percent.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean the position we take now, according to Condi is wrong. I think time will tell.

"I've seen almost nothing on Rice's views of the issues"

Exactly.If she cared at all about limited Government she would have said something or writing something in her career at Stanford.

Let me ask you who is more conservative, Rumsfeld or Rice?

"Exactly.If she cared at all about limited Government she would have said something or writing something in her career at Stanford."

Uh, one doesn't get "up the promotion ladder" at a university by expressing conservative opinions.

What little I "have" seen from Rice is favorable. I have seen nothing actively "unfavorable".

So I want to see info before condemning her for not being "conservative enough".
