When people spew who dont know what they are talking about, it is also usually true that they dont know what they dont know. These people get their views from prevailing media wisdom, which usually passes for what was the most popular comment at one of their cocktail parties. Condi scares the crap out of many of those nuts, and she also scares many on our side, because with one word, every other candidate for President in O8 will need to find something else to do. My money is on Romney, with Condi as VEEP, but if she changes her mind and runs for President, there is NO ONE on either side who can beat her.

Interesting take on Romney. Do you think he can take the south in the primaries? He strikes me as being a tad bit metro, but that could be my personal bias against Bostonians. Its just that my gut check tells me that he won't play well down south, but would do well everywhere else. He would certainly do better than someone like Guilliani or Gingrich. I don't think any Congressman or Senator can win the Presidency right out of the box—which shoots out McCain, Pence, Allen and Tancredo...too much baggage and name fatigue.

You're right, however, that if Rice runs (and has a very experienced political team) she wins. I'm betting she won't go for the top job, however. I will keep your Romney/Rice '08 ticket in mind. I certainly wouldn't bet against ya 'cause I might get banned. I heard somewhere you are an honored Freeper of some kind. ; )

At this point in the speculation I'm putting my money on Dirk Kempthorne. Long shot, not running, from the west, I like the way he owns his ground. Safe, irrelevant speculation on my part. In a field this crowded, might as well go with the guy with the most interesting name. Dirk, Mitt, Condi. Huh.
