It was a choice to further his career and "enliven his life."

Condoleezza Rice will defeat Hillary Clinton for the 2008 presidency

If I knew this were true, I could drop dead tonight and die with a smile on my face.

[Constitution Day]

Condoleezza Rice will defeat Hillary Clinton for the presidency in 2008, New York Times political columnist William Safire predicted during a stop in Ypsilanti Monday.

Note to Bill Safire:

2008 is SIX YEARS away.
That's practically a millenium in politics.

Do you have a crystal ball?

I like how before Condi becomes President in 2008 she is governor of California. Where does Bill get the idea she is going to leave the administratin and become Gov or Califonia in 2006 and then quit halfway through to become President?

[TatieBug]

Not a chance ~ JEB/RICE will probably defeat Hillary in 2008!

[wideawake]

Great. Just what we need - two abortionists running for president in 2008.

[1Old Pro]

Condi won't run for President, Hitlery longs for the opportunity. Neither will become President.

[philosofy123]

I am vey surprise to learn that Safire voted for Clinton? Is that true? I always thought he was a Republican?

[jwfiv]

I remember, and forgave him the first vote, chalking it up to 'irrational exuberance'...I still hold a grudge against him for his second endorsement of the Raping Toon, and have held suspect everything he says and writes, since then.

Hitlery Klinton has more baggage than Greyhound...Mr Ed would beat her in 2008...

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Well, he DID say 'predicted'. That's not a statement of fact. I've heard many Freepers predict the same thing. And I, for one, would love to see it happen.

[Hila]

Safire, like in the fire of hell - should he not obtain thinking capacity.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Condi will not run for President or Vice President at all. She is an academic, not a politician. The disturbing thing is the attitude of everyone who thinks the Republicans won't win by 2008 unless we run a black woman. We could be in an all-out shooting war with Islam by then, so it's a little early to assume that the forces of Hillary Clinton-style Political Correctness are going to triumph by default.

[Constitution Day]

Possible, I think, but is it probable?
I wonder what Safire's thought process on that is.

[ewing]

I thought Safire was a staunch GOP'er as well but I remember that he did write a column about voting for Clinton, so it didn't surprise me when someone said he voted for Bubba twice.

[Constitution Day]

That's true.
I would also like to see it, but I just think that 6 yrs. is a damned stretch for making political predictions.

What do I know, though... I'm just a guy from rural NC. :)

Using a word processor after smoking crack, is no no.

Not exactly a career building combination.
