Long in the background, Condoleeza Rice steps on the political stage
IBD Editorials ^ | June 26, 2012 | ANDREW MALCOM

Former Secretary of State and national security adviser Condoleeza Rice, who dismisses any talk about political plans or ambitions, has taken a first step anyway: She's hosted her first Washington fundraiser.

Last night Rice headlined a fundraiser at the Capitol Hill Club for ShePAC, the five-month-old super PAC designed to attract and grow the number of "principled conservative women" in elected federal office.

The event, including a briefing, reception and photo opportunities, attracted many of the 29 elected Republican women in Congress, as well as a list of female GOP Senate and House candidates, such as Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Missouri's Sarah Steelman and New Mexico's Heather Wilson.

Calling herself a "great optimist," Rice told the fundraiser, "America has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable in retrospect and we are going to do it again. We are going to strengthen ourselves, our democracy at home, strengthen our economy.”

Over the weekend Rice, who will turn 58 a week after the November election, spoke in a closed briefing for several hundred participants in Mitt Romney's leadership retreat in Utah.

This thread can’t be the first promoting Condi as VP material?

I hope she’s picked for VP. It would prove once and for all that Republicans are both Racists and Anti-Woman.

Hey, that’s what passes for logic on MSNBC!

And while I know some will turn up their noses at her ideological impurity, in fact it would be a damn good fit for her skills.

Egad, are we going to hear “Islam is a religion of peace” BS again?

I can still see her nodding and applauding enthusiastically when GW made that mindless statement in his State of the Union address.

The only position that would be a damn good fit for her would as the Democrat VP nominee.

You two haven’t paid attention. How many times does she have to say that she is not interested and the fundraiser is not for her

Did you go with her in the voting booth and witnessed who she voted for? These speculations are just plain stupid and need to stop. Shame on you and all you speculators and Bush haters

She said Obama’s election was a proud moment and called it an extraordinary step forward for the nation.

I agree completely, Kaslin. Voting is a private matter.

Condi just on Greta. My goodness does she understand “what’s happening”. Certainly would be well qualified.

I'm not a big Condi fan, as she is no conservative...

But that said, I chanced upon this whilst looking at some Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981). A fun amusing view for Condi fans everywhere...

I watched her and yes she understands, but like she said she is interested in policies, not politics
