I, Hillary Rodham Clinton, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God."
On January 20, 2009, at precisely noon, the world will witness the inauguration of the forty-fourth president of the United States. As the chief justice administers the oath of office on the flag-draped podium in front of the U.S. Capitol, the first woman president, Hillary Rodham Clinton, will be sworn into office. By her side, smiling broadly and holding the family Bible, will be her chief strategist, husband, and copresident, William Jefferson Clinton.
If the thought of another Clinton presidency excites you, then the future indeed looks bright. Because, as of this moment, there is no doubt that Hillary Clinton is on a virtually uncontested trajectory to win the Democratic nomination and, very likely, the 2008 presidential election. She has no serious opposition in her party. More important, a majority of all American voters - 52 percent - now supports her candidacy.
But her victory is not inevitable. There is one, and only one, figure in America who can stop Hillary Clinton: Secretary of State Condoleezza "Condi" Rice. Among all of the possible Republican candidates for president, Condi alone could win the nomination, defeat Hillary
Condoleezza Rice, in fact, poses a mortal threat to Hillary's success. With her broad-based appeal to voters outside the traditional Republican base, Condi has the potential to cause enough major defections from the Democratic Party to create serious erosion among Hillary's core voters. She attracts the same female, African American, and Hispanic voters who embrace Hillary, while still maintaining the support of conventional Republicans.
This is a race Condi can win.

Something to keep in mind about Condi Rice: Politicall she is similiar to Guiliani and McCain. She looks good on foreign policy, but she is pro-abortion.
I can never support that Israel-bashing aborionist. We have much better talent on our side.
She's also pro 2nd amendment so it's a mixed blessing. There is one thing that will destroy Hillary. That's the Barret report.
Information wants to be free! Publish the Barret report now.
Dr. Rice performs abortions?
Condi is also pro gun. Regardless of all her faults if it comes to Condi v.Hillary, I vote for Condi and thank God I got the chance to do so.
If this is true, Condi better watch her back.
No, she fails to mouth the same words that so called "pro-life" candidates (who, upon being elected, do nothing about abortion except more mouthing) mouth.
I don't think Condi can win. If it's Hillary v. Condi, then Hillary will win. But I will still vote for Condi.
I think you're paying attention. :-)
What (roughly) is the Barret report?
Hillary Clinton can only survive the Democrat primaries if her opponents are blackmailed into running weak campaigns.
She has so many skeletons in her closets, so many scandals, so many image problems that she has to be insane to get into a political contest where her opponents will be just as megalomaniacal, egotistical, and ambitious as her.
I only wonder how much water the MSM can carry for her and if they can reasonably expect to shield her from her past. I doubt that the power of the MSM will be as strong in '08 as it was in '04, and the MSM was unable to shield John Kerry from his own skeletons.
(Unlike Hillary Clinton, John Kerry's skeletons did not become apparent until the middle of the general campaign. She'll be going into the primaries with trails of bread crumbs leading in every direction to one of her dirty little secrets.)
If Condi, McCain or Guiliani gets the Republican nomination, we are going to end up with a Conservative third-party candidate. And Hillary Clinton will be President of The United States. This is why the NY Times and the liberal media in general fawn over them so much.
You know, some of us have been sounding this alarm in 2000...then in 2004...but a lot of freepers kept saying, "it's too easy to talk about 2008". now it's 2006 and no one has a serious game plan to take her out.
it seems that the best hope on our side is a pro-abortion appointed governmental official who has not only never run for office but who has said that she won't run. and this is our frontrunner and if morris is right, our only hope?
when will it be late enough for us to talk about 2008?
Politicall she is similiar to Guiliani and McCain. She looks good on foreign policy, but she is pro-abortion.

Views on the philosophical topic of abortion do not make a President. She would make a good President, IMHO, BECAUSE of her foreign policy EXPERIENCE, and domestically, she has the intelligence to know what is right for America, BUT, possibly like Bush, she would not do what is right, domestically, for America...and frankly, I don't know if anyone in Washington, excepting a very few, like Pence, would even stand up for what is SERIOUSLY NEEDED in domestic America -- the problem is the government, not the people. Spending and taxation, uncontrolled illegal immigration, open borders, Constituion-busting activism on the SCOTUS, gross negligence in government oversight (9/11, ABLE DANGER, bogus commissions like the 9/11 Commission, etc.), all these things need SERIOUS FIXING.
So, WHO in Washington will have the guts or motivation to do what is really needed ??? -- not just warm the Oval Office chair and tax and spend us to death...
The toesucker is merely trying to peddle his books.
Chances are condi will make running mate, not Prez nominee.
Condi doesn't seem to be virulently pro-abortion, which I'm afraid is the case with Rudy Giuliani.
I would be willing to vote for her if she simply stood up and said that she had changed her mind and supported the right to life. I think she is a woman of her word, who could be trusted to keep such a promise.
Whether she would ever do that, I don't know. But unless she did, she could not possibly win the presidency, because she would need all those millions of extra pro-life, conservative Christian votes that came out for Bush.
Otherwise, we need to see the emergence of someone else as a candidate who has not yet been in the media, if conservative momentum is not to be lost. Not Giuliani, not Frist, not McCain.
Furthermore, Bush first made the mistake of putting Specter where he is, and then let him delay the Alito nomination for more than two months, giving the media time to work up a case against him. This is the single most important piece of unfinished business at the present time. Let's hope the President realizes that he cannot afford to back down on Alito and leave him hanging in the wind. He must put this nomination through if he wants to regain conservative trust in the Republican party and leave a positive legacy behind him.
I cant imagine the United States of America run by the two furniture thieves.
I dont believe Condi Rice can win.
I think Dick Morris is better at sucking toes than picking a candidate for either party.
I think Morris is playing us. Trying to get us to nominate Condi. I admire her greatly; but Morris is NOT conservative...his motives are NOT in our best interest!
