We could do a LOT worse.
¡Si se puede!
Yo quiero Condoleezza Rice. :)
And probably will.
Clear the way ..., the Condi-haters will be here shortly. Me? I'd support her.
Be careful what you wish for.
A similar effort might have produced a President Colin Powell in 2000.
After his not-so-stellar tenure as SoS, many were glad he didn't prevail in 2000 either.
Be careful what you oppose.
We could end up with another Bob Dole.
Gingrich/Rice
Any republican aside from McCain, Giuliani, Rice and Hagel.
Rice/Gingrich :)
Really? Rice, to me anyway, seems exactly like a Bob Dole with no experience.
I'll sign on to that. Two candidates for pres, both of them women. Would a Republican vote for the wicked witch of the east just because they might have a lil racism in them? Maybe, but I don't think so. Would any of the usual black dems cross over and vote for Condi? I'm thinkin with the history that would make...yes some of them would and enough to make the difference. YMMV.

Maybe I best 'splain myself.
I could have just offended a lot of Dole supporters, and if I did I apologize.
Bob Dole is a hero. He's a wonderful man. He deserves everything and all things good. But he's about as inspiring as a tree stump.
Condoleezza is the exact opposite.
The important first rule of elections is - first you have to win the vote.
That means, you get more of the other team voting for your "guy", than you lose from your own team over internecine squabbling about guest worker programs and port security deals gone awry.
Condi could be a major electrical source for the GOP.
We'd be very, very shortsighted and foolish not to encourage and build her for that role.
I get you.
I'm just not a Rice fan. She really seems like one of the "one world" types as shown by her support for the Law Of the Sea Treaty (LOST).
I just hope she meant what she said and doesn't run. Write-in campaigns never work so if she doesn't run, she won't be the nominee, problem solved.
There are worse republicans though (like the other three I listed above.)
She has already said that she misses academia. That is where she truly belongs.
I get you.
