I agree with you, BUT the electors don't. Check out the last few Presidents and you will find they were all governors beforehand. Senators before that (JFK, LBJ and Nixon). Eisenhower was a fluke - as much as I admire him and his record - which is a LOT. Anyone who had the balls to kick out a million illegal aliens is tops in my book, much less his willingness to let the French fail in Indochina and the Brits and French to fall on their faces in Suez.
Condi might not face 08 as Sec of State.
She may become the Vice President by then.
(Cheney may bow out)
If she becomes Veep...then there is also the possiblity
she may assume the presidency before 08....
I love W... he might find a way to step aside if he
thought it would make the difference and keep a devil
such as Hillary out of the White House.
Condi as incumbent President would be hard to beat in 08.
