Thank you. My thoughts exactly. She was being courteous to a serious rival for her own candidate - and that takes courage in the current climate. It shows that she can put herself above ongoing debate.
I disagree with her on various issues too. But to be as modest as she was here makes it possible to shave off petty personal rows from important discussions, and to concentrate on central topics. Showing respect for adversaries is a true quality; and Condi lets us know here that it’s not her in the end who will decide the outcome of the election; it’s the people of the States who are invited to subject Obama’s stances to very close scrutiny, and then decide.
Dutch hat off, then.
Apollo 13, my hat’s off to you, too!
Rice is a gracious person. We should all learn from her.
