Like Arnold and other high-profile candidates, she is "pro-choice" and all the single-issue voters would mobilize to stop her: so she must already have overcome that hurdle in advance (which she could do). But I think Bedard got an old story and didn't realize it.
She won't be jumping the Administration to run in this recall election. The "Condi is resigning" story is being peddled by Hillary's people to damage Rice, more than likely. However, even in the absence of that, I can't see her getting into this race.
Agree with you about Jeb, btw. I live here in FL. He's a good governor, but Americans in 2008 will want a change from the Bush family.
As to the recall itself? I hope that Davis can be upended, but there are enough stupid Californians upset about the "cost" of the recall to give Davis a pass.
Be Seeing You,
