If you want a former provost with no legislative experience, whose never been elected to public office and who stands at odds with some key planks of the party platform (life and US role in globalism), then Condi is for you.
For us Reagan conservatives, she's a non-starter. She would serve the party best if she returned to the private sector.
Of course it is. Are we not discussing the GOP nominee for 08? I think we are. Who selects that nominee? All of America? Don't be ridiculous, Republicans select their nominee. The GOP nominee is most definitely a matter for the GOP; that's neither childish nor illogical; it's a fact.
It's about what is best for America, and that's what we want.
As if I don't want what's best for America? I think what I am saying is that if you want what's best for America, you don't want Condi.
Therefore, discussions over who the nominee might be, and the whole process of picking a nominee, are very important to me. They are my only chance to make a difference. If they pick Condi, and I am faced with a Condi vs Clintoon choice, that sucks for me. So now is the time to resist bad moves by the GOP.
When the time comes to grab the ankles, yeah, I guess we all have to do it. People like you are just a little too anxious to bend over. You just drop your drawers and tell the GOP, whoever you pick is fine because Hillary is worse. I'm trying to encourage the exertion of a little more pressure than that, before the nomination, when it counts.
