Condi won't run. She's great as a policy advisor, but she has no evident political skills. You really ought to get elected to something else before you try running for president.
I guess President Eisenhower didn't get that memo. :)
Eisenhower was a consummate politician in the Army. That's how he rose so far so fast. You should read Welch's famous book some time to learn about his skills. I'm sure the Birch Society still has it.
