I'll vote for Rice, gladly.
But the notion that people support Rice because they are "sour" on Bush is clueless. She was his right had during the crafting and execution of his policy, and still is, for better and for worse. There isn't an inch of daylight between the two, and people know it.
It astounds me that writers like this are able to draw a paycheck, they actually get paid to write stuff like this.
"right had" = "right hand"
Still working on that spelling stuff.
