What about a Rice-Allen Ticket in 2008?
You heard it here first!
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has great name recognition, solid foreign policy credentials, and a brilliant mind. Former Virginia Governor and current Senator George Allen has a solid conservative foundation, a friendly outgoing personality, and plenty of leadership experience. Rice would strip a lot of black and women's votes from the Democrat ticket; Allen would pull in the conservatives. This is a ticket that could beat Hillary Clinton. This is a ticket that would keep the Democrats out of the White House for eight years with Rice as President, then another eight as Allen ran to replace her. The added benefit is that HRC would be out of serious politics permanently.
Early indications are that Republicans would support Rice.
Definetly more likely Allen-Rice than Rice-Allen
Sounds great in any order, with Cheney thrown in there too.
Flip it around and it might be better.
How about Allen/Rice? Although I don't think Rice is interested.
does condi want to be president?
Ping a ling!
How many times must she say she isn't running? She wouldn't even be a decent candidate. Pro-abortion, pro-gay civil unions, and I think pro-gun control despite her recent comments. Why is liberal republican Dick Morris pushing her so hard?
The second Condi formally announces her candidacy I will take a leave of absence from work and pledge to work 16 hours a day 7 days a week to work for her Presidential campaign.
Rice would re-align American politics for 50 years. She would carry on the Bush mantle while eviscerating the Rats.
Contrary to the Rice haters on FR--she is the one person who can defeat HRC.
LOL, Thanks, here we go again. My friend will be e-mailing with all kinds of stuff about Condi again!
i find all this interesting becuase people on FR rip on McCain for not being a solid conservative but Condi doesnt even claim to be. I dont get it. Shes pro gays and pro abortion and pro gun control, RINO if i ever heard it
LOL
Concur.

Agreed. Allen has experience as governor, and has won elections. Rice would be a great boon to the ticket.
I believe you are mistaken. Condi is not pro gun control in the slightest. There was a thread about a month or two back that shows how pro 2nd Amendment she is.
I know. McCain seems to be more conservative than Rice. Why do so many people her love her so much? I'd rather see a Allen-Gingrich type of ticket. We don't need another open-borders republican.
