And to my previous comment - other sites seem to have her not saying who she voted for. But she issued this statement:

[[[During a press conference this morning, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said John McCain was gracious and a great patriot, while Barack Obama was inspirational and will continue to be. A jubilant Rice added that she was proud of her country it continues to surprise
it continues to beat all odds and expectations. She concluded, On a personal note, as an African-American, Im especially proud.]]]
There's video there of her statement - if my video player worked in this browser - it's about 50% and YouTube doesn't play anymore, I could rerun it.

And I ran across this tidbit of Condi Rice praising Obama; praising Obama for selecting Hillary and praising Hillary:

Outgoing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told me on “This Week” that she has spoken to Sen. Hillary Clinton, President-elect Barack Obama’s pick for State.
“She’s terrific,” Rice said, “I have known her for a long time, ever since she brought her freshman daughter to Stanford when I was provost at Sanford. I think she’s going to be terrific.”
Of her possible successor, Rice said, “President-elect Obama has made his choice and he’s made a terrific choice. Hillary Clinton is someone of intelligence and she’ll do a great job. She also has what’s most important to be Secretary of State, and that is that you love this country and you represent it from the basic of faith in it’s values, and I know that she will do that.”
