I'm leaning in the direction of Condy Rice. Takes all the wind out of the Dem's sails for running the first serious female candidate. "Oh, yeah, well ours is black, too.."

Not to mention that she is truly brilliant.

I respect Dick Cheney a great deal, but I'd like him to step aside in 2004. Have Condi run for VP in 2004 and then run for Pres in 2008.

Normally, 30% vote dem, 30% vote Repub, and 30% are swing. Races usually go to the candidate who can get 51% of that swing vote. But every black vote for Condi is a vote taken away from the Dem. That makes a huge difference. Then it's 25% voting Dem, 35% voting Repub, and 30% voting swing. Not too tough.

I agree. I think she'd be a great anti-Hildebeast. Perhaps Rudy and Condi on the same ticket?

If she's "truly brilliant" why didn't she know that planes could be used as weapons before 9/11?

I've heard a lot of talk about Condoleeza Rice and Rudy Guilliani, but I think both are a wash because they are pro-abortion. The abortion issue is the line in the sand for many principled conservatives who would stay home rather than vote for a pro-abortion candidate.

The one I'm keeping an eye on is Colorado governor, Bill Owens.

"Oh yeah, well will meet your female and raise you a minority..."
