If Condi Rice was a white guy, there would be little hype whatsoever about her for president. The only two Secretary of States in recent memory to have any presidential hype are Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger. I never heard even James Baker hyped for president. In fact, there hasn't been a secretary of state elected president since James Buchanan. To go even further, Rice has never run for any elected office. She's an unknown campaigner. Can she related to the non diplomatic world? Can she handle 24/7 scrutiny? I don't know. No one does.

I'd like to know what makes Condi Rice qualified to be president. I'd like to know her stances on domestic issues. DEFECIT SPENDING, Taxes, 2nd Amendment(I've heard good there, although 2ndhand), jobs, life, trade, the UN, judges, border security, and the size of government.

Domestic issues come first with me.

Wow - a thoughtful post. lol

Foreign policy is first with me, but it isn't enough to blow off all the above you wisely note. That's why I think we should look toward seriously grooming a few good men for '08. It's crazy to start pushing Condi now, IMO.
