I'll go with Owens, and Condi as Veep. Rice won't run for Prez in '08 and she shouldn't. Someone who has never been elected to office will not win the Presidency, except under the most unusual conditions (i.e. Eisenhower). The Presidency is, like it or not, a political position. She'd be a perfect Veep and would gain valuable campaigning experience. Other possibilities (Rudy is too far left on social issues and would be better as Senator or Governor from NY) include Bill Frist and (assuming he retires in '06 from the Senate), Jeb Bush.
