In addition, many here on this Thread immediately jumped on the Condi bandwagon to this unresolved question. I'm not so sure about this for two reasons: 1) She's never held an elected office and 2) to my knowledge only 3 Secretaries of State have ever been elected President, one of which was Thomas Jefferson. Don't get me wrong here (as I said, Condi's smart) but is she on par with Mr. Jefferson?

Condoleeza Rice has never run for any elective office, thus we don't know whether she has the fire in the belly to campaign.

She's an intellectual, not a politician. I don't think she'd take the VP slot, because I don't think she wants to be President.

My hunch right now is that Bush will pick McCain. He's not popular around here, and he'll be 70 in 2006, but he'd be a shoo-in in 2008.
