Good comments, but I do think that Rice would blunt the advantage of Hillary. This would be even more true if Obama were Hillary's VP.
This will come down to a shootout between the Bush/McCain wings of the party.
Our best standard bearer would be Cheney, but his health issues keep surfacing.
I love Dick Cheney. We all do. But I have reason to believe that his health is in worse shape than is generally admitted.
Be Seeing You,
