But Hillary Rodham has long had the FIRE IN THE BELLY! And she will have had two Senate campaigns under her belt by 2008. GWB had two gubernatorial campaigns to his credit prior to 2000. Rice would wilt under her attacks like a chaff of wheat.
That's true about Hillary. And we don't know how Condi would react; before she's nominated we'd know. But I don't quite picture her "wilting".
Cheney will step down for "health" reasons in early 2007...Rice will have a year as VP to run as an incumbent.
