Interesting editorial from down undah. The best part is the discussion of Kerry as a has-been...gosh. Seconded only by the "rock-solid 40 per cent of the country...who would never vote for Clinton even if their lives depended on it."

Okay...maybe it's a tie.

Geena Davis's Character is a liberal copy of Dr. Rice.

The Age doesn't have a clue, they thought Latham was going to beat Howard.

I kind of always figured Commander in Chief as an ad for Hillary. It's been pretty much settled for quite a while now that Condi won't be running (even though it would rock if she did), so I wouldn't attribute the show to anything having to do with her.

But I WANT Condi to run. She needs to beef up her Pro-Isreal stance a little, but I WANT Condi to run against Hillary. We all know she is going to run and it ain't gonna fly some paunchy white Republican. Sorry, just stating it the way it is. The female population would vote for a woman just for the 'historical' moment of it. Those are pretty much a given. At least that is my opinion.

I think that Condi would also swing the black vote as well. It would be rough for the Dems to keep up the "house slave", "brown sugar" persona.

Are females that vacuous?

"And some political observers say — but never publicly — that Rice would never run for any major political office, let alone the presidency, first and foremost because she would not be prepared to have her private life subjected to the sort of scrutiny that is now an inevitable part of the political process."


So what is he trying to say here - that there is something about her private life that would make her unelectable or just that she is a private person?

Condi won't run and I don't think Hillary can win anywhere except the Northeast.....and maybe not even there.

The old media would love a Condi vs. Hillary match up but the old media doesn't pick who will be President anymore.

Sadly enough, I believe so. You have the hard core left, who would vote for their hero. Then you'd have the "I don't usually care or pay attention to politics because Sex in the City reruns are on in 10 minutes" bunch who would vote for a woman just for the hoo hah of a female president and not know or care that Hillary is the anti-Christ(Ok, not really, but...)

So to answer your question, no, not all are. But unfortunately alot would be.

I am a female before anyone starts flaming me.

Well, she's single...and I am sure that that alone would bring scrutiny.

Yeah, especially after they heard her speak. Condi is my hero and I would LOVE to see a debate between the elegant Condi and the Screecher.

I'll take this with a grain of NaCl...earlier today there was another article posted from down under about how McCain will be the nominee from the GOP. Ha.

No, they won't. The country isn't ready for a woman president, and any man will beat Hillary. Putting Condi up against her is not a good idea.

I disagree. Just because YOU think the 'country isn't ready for a woman president' doesn't mean squat.

And quite frankly that is a sexist crap comment. So long.

Among DIMocrats, I'd say the incidence of vacuousness is about the same with both sexes. Probably with republicans also, just that the percentage of empty headed pubbies is significantly lower in general.

you have to assume any single person is going to have a personal life that could be used against them. I have no idea what rice's is but it ain't chastity, more than likely. And I am just assuming what comes out is something fairly ho-hum...what if it isn't? This is the american public we are talking about, after all.

I am not making a personal judgmenet, just a media comment.

Saw that. The reason I think the MSM loves McCain is because he is a boil on the GOP's behind.

It won't be Clinton VS Rice. It will be Clinton vs McCain.
