NNo matter what Condi's future ambitions, or the pros/cons of a candidacy, one thing is worth noting. Condi has IT, Hillary does not.
If Hillary had an ounce of the intellect, talent, strength, articulation, charm, graciousness and principle that Condi exudes she might well be the first woman President.
I can only imagine how bitter Hillary must be everytime she chances to run into her. Basically Condi has everything Hill has ever wanted, she didn't have to marry Bill to get there, AND even though she could run for Prez herself and be a serious contender? May not even want to.
That last must bother her the most. That another woman has what Hill needs to win the W.H., and doesn't seem driven to grab the "prize". Wouldn't doubt if a part of her despises Condi in some ways more than she despises G.W.B. Ditto her reaction to Laura, because Laura has proven a more effective First Lady than Hill ever was.
Minus policy discussion, IMO, Condi is the type of woman America envisions as it's first woman President. Not Hillary. Now of course Liberals envision someone like Condi, with liberal idealogy at the core. And conservatives envision a Condi/Thatcher with conservative idealogy at core....but the inteligence, personality traits etc...she possesses are the package they are looking to carry these idealogies forward.
because Laura has proven a more effective First Lady than Hill ever was.
Only because Hillary had Senate in her mind. Laura acts like the Kennedy First Lady just pretty. I think that is what First Ladies should do just look pretty and Laura does it right. There is a big difference between having a lawyer for a first lady and a librarian. Laura fits the First Lady role perfectly. Hillary just had bigger goals. Not that either is right or wrong.
