No. She had her chance and is pro choice. However, Ryan’s star is shining brightly.
Pulease. Condi is smart and right but she is not political leadership timber. Good bracing though.
Where is she gonna go? The top 2 spots are taken and she already served in the cabinet. Calif Governor maybe but the state will have to continue downward and even then the people don’t get it.
An inspiring speech that any American should be proud of, by a brilliant and accomplished woman.
I would say the same thing regardless of her race or political affiliation. And I hope she reconsiders her political ambitions at some future time.
In 2012, hell no. Guess all that "hope and change" she gushed about in 2008 didn't work out. Too bad, you had your chance. Now go away, Condi.
She is bright, well spoken and not a flaming liberal.
But she belongs in academia - not in a republican government.
She was a terrible Sec. of State in the Bush Years.
Let it be.
I like her a lot.
She is very controlled in her delivery but I occasionally see flashes of raw emotion there which are, for me, more powerful for being so tightly controlled.
Crissy matthews says it’s racist to mention Condoleeza.
If she was in the military, she'd make a great staff officer, just keep her as far from troops as possible.
Haven't we been through enough of these fake candidates?
“You see, the essence of America, what really unites us, is not nationality or ethnicity or religion. It is an idea. And what an idea it is. That you can come from humble circumstances and you can do great things, that it does not matter where you came from, it matters where you are going.”
“And on a personal note, a little girl grows up in Jim Crow
Birmingham. The segregated city of the south where her parents cannot take her to a movie theater or to restaurants, but they have convinced that even if she cannot have it hamburger at Woolworths, she can be the president of the United States if she wanted to be, and she becomes the Secretary of State.”
Condi is a brilliant woman, and a true American, and she probably does a good job at Stanford. I’m happy for her, and wish her much success at her job. May she live happily ever after there.
Condi’s speach has been the best one delivered at the convention by far, sadly it was about foreign policy more than anything else, which to the US electorate sadly she might as well have been speaking a foreign language.
She absolutely articulated the importance and unique place America holds in the world and the incredible danger this administration has placed not only the united states but the world in and why by its behavior. It was a FAR FAR more scathing indictment of the current administration than Ryan’s, or anyone elses for that matter, but again since it was foreign policy for the most part, most of the electorate will sadly tune it out.
Be very careful. Didn’t she and Colin Powell both vote for Obama last time?
Regardless of what you think of her politics, Rice has always been a star. That’s how talented and intelligent she is.
No, no and NO. Condi gave a wonderful speech last night and it deserves the praise it’s receiving. That does not mean she is a politician. My sense is she’s realized just where “Hope and Change” has taken us, that she’s profoundly worried about it and feels strongly enough to SPEAK up about it in a strong and public way.
I would not be inclined to vote for her. Not ALL of our public figures are suited to politics.
For some reason every time CSPAN would show her on tv last nite I got the feeling she was spying on the enemy.
Guess what, Condi fans? You agree with Chrissy Matthews!
“Condi’s speech was presidential. Best address of the convention.”

Condi is pro-Abortion. She supported Obama in 2008 either because she fell for his sweet talk or because he is black.( Not sure which is worse.) And there are all the rumors based on her not being married and living with the same woman, Randy Bean, for years if you know what I mean. I’m not saying that she reads Sappho in the original Greek, but I’m pretty sure she listens to the Indigo Girls.
