Her Thighness and his Suitness can't pull it off. This is just a trial balloon for the DNC. I wonder often if Powell still isn't also in play for '08 - but am beleaguered that he could go either party!.
America elects Governors. Rick Perry (who irritates us as W did as we have to actually LIVE with them here in Austin, even though we support them) is, I believe, about to bust out once the DeLay thing gets settled.
Then again, Schwartzenegger could roar up next year.
I love Tancredo, but he's probably VP material at best.
Jeb can't do anything until the Bush-hate goes away: that'll never happen.
Rudy has a great shot, particularly if Condi saddles up with him.
So, my call is either Perry/Condi or Rudy/Condi '08.
I'm not seeing how a person who has never ran for public office before is a good choice for the national ticket.
Rice is real popular here when it comes to this kind of talk, and I have no idea why (well, I do, though it might be impolite to say). Nobody knows her views, how sound her political judgment is, or really anything at all that would merit this storm of support. Hell, the fact that she's never been married ought to be a big clue that she's not exactly a whiz at selling herself.
And yet a hefty contingent of freepers are ready to anoint this cipher.
