A female is going to have to make VP before she makes the big job, A black male will have to make the top ticket before a female and a black female at that makes it (no matter how smart)... I think with her experience she would be a shue in for the VP position with possibility of President in 2016. Think strategically, not emotionally. Trust me Hillary will be cold and calculating and totally without emotion in this run and she'll have Bill and the Media at her back..... Once we make it past 2008 then the gates will be open for all sorts of possibilities since the Dems will be in total disaray... but for 2008 and the relection in 2012 unless we're smart we're in deep dooh.
LOL - in other words, she will be herself...
I think you're totally right about a black woman would have to go as VP first - and Condi would be perfect - 8 years as VP then to the top of the ticket
