Condi, of course, to replace Cheney as VP in 2007. Then she would be free to campaign for President. Condi could tear holes in the Democrat party by taking away major portions of the female and black vote.
Besides, she knows more about foreign policy than any of the governors or senators who may run for President. THAT is the major qualification, in my opinion, for a President.
Domestic stuff should be left to the States. I believe that Condi's position on abortion is just that -- leave such decisions to the States rather than the Federal Government. She is personally against abortion except in the most extreme cases.
Amen. The President's main duty is in my opinion (and where I whole heartedly agree with you) is in the foreign policy and defense arena. The Presidents get way too much credit and blame for domestic economic policy outcomes. In a free market as ours, the administration doesn't *really* have that much impact on the economy. Therefore, the primary impact is on the defense, national security and foreign policy. In that respect, Condi is eminently qualified. The fact that she'd eviscerate Dem base is just a bonus over which I can giggle incessantly.
I don't believe that will happen. Most Dems will "Uncle Tom" her and vote as usual. They already do that.
I'd love to see her win because I think she is qualified, she has the guts I look for in that job and she would blow a few Democrat myths right out of the water once and for all. Don't think for a minute it wouldn't chap off liberals if the first black and first woman President came from the Republican Party. It would kill them and even they admit that. OF course right now they simply say it won't ever happen because institutional racism and sexism among Repubs would never allow it. That is mostly wishful thinking.
I'd also be less than honest if I didn't mention sharing the same hometown plays into it too.
Hey, I'm human.
I don't dig too much some of the stuff that has gone on with Israel, spending and illegal immigration under her current boss, but I'd love to hear what she would do.
