Thanks, I did hear it about a month ago and thought that the report from Rush was current. Thanks for straightening that out. I don't know if Bush can afford to give Condi up to California.
Well, she would not be as smart as I think she is if she jumped this administration before having a clear plan to win a seat. Currently, she is on a short list of Veep candidates should Cheney step down or should Jeb run in 2008 (which, unfortunately, I think would be a bad move and would smack of a "dynasty").
Like Arnold and other high-profile candidates, she is "pro-choice" and all the single-issue voters would mobilize to stop her: so she must already have overcome that hurdle in advance (which she could do). But I think Bedard got an old story and didn't realize it.
