I like Condi too, but I don't think she is ready, I don't think she could win. Not because she is not capable, nor because she is black and a woman, but because she lacks solid experience she can point at, that people would accept as sufficient experience for the presidency. In reality she may be ready, but in people's perception she is not, and in politics perception counts for a great deal, such as being elected or not.
She is a national security advisor, which in most people's eyes is not enough. If she did 8 years as a VP under Jeb, say, that would give her ironclad experience she can point at. I rather have her run when she can win, than run and lose, and have us get another Democrat for another 8 years to undo GW's progress.

I agree with your analysis. I was just poking fun at the earlier post that intended to put Jeb at the top of the ticket!
