Outstanding article. I agee, she would make an excellent Vice President....and President.
Why?
Clinton had testosterone......look where that got us.
She is Bush's personal brain trust on foreign policy.
I'll take brains, integrity and political savvy over testosterone any day.
Brains, articularity and experience would win over smarm, deviosity and politics.
Which candidate would women vote for? Which candidate would men vote for? Minorities?
If you find out where we sign up for the Grassroots Volunteer list for her candidacy, let me know.
According to the scriptures, women are not to have leadership roles in God's church.
Scriptures don't say anything about women as nation leaders, though! Bush/Rice '04... Condoleeza '08!
Me too. I'll work in Kentucky.
LOL, I asked for that. Obviously the President needs to carry his brains above his belt also. Clinton was lacking in this key qualification, along with a lot of other presidential qualifications.
The point I was (poorly) trying to make is that a President needs to be someone who is less to trade away our freedom for imaginary security. History show us that that prerequisite quality is something men have, and women generally don't. Which is why, until now at least, it is men who generally work their way up to Presidential candiate positions in the Republican party.
Notice that Clinton won with popular female support. Evidently women weren't as discerning as men were when it came to selecting presidential material.
Margaret Thatcher is someone who became a leader, proving the exception, but notice she rose to the top in a nation of ninneys.
There are some, even many, who say that Bush IS IN FACT trading away freedoms for security. I would not necessarily disagree with that assertion. However, until someone shows me a Presidential candidate who is positioned further to the right, and who has a chance of winning an election, I'm fully behind Bush.
Let's wait and see what 2004 brings. Dick Cheney has earned the right to be VP if he wants it. However, due to his age and health, he may want to stand down after the first term. If so, Dr. Rice would be an outstanding VP. Then, depending on whether any other stars arise during the second term, she should have a good shot at 2008. I don't see anyone else on the horizon who has her gravis, her ability or her testerone. Electabilitiy is something that can't be judged this far out. Alot of it depends on who else is in the running.
Any demonrat running against her would be in serious trouble. Their formula is race-baiting, and appealing to the female vote. Condi would blow them out of the water on both points.
What a delicious irony to contemplate the first female president as an African-American Republican!
