Make Condi’s POTUS run 2020, not 2024. I blame the Bombay Sapphire for my math problems.

Nods... that was incredible. So much power in such quiet, reasoned words.

Thank You Lord, for this nation founded in Your name.

Carried a S&W .357 magnum. Woo hoo!”

Susana Martinez is a budding rockstar as well.

[SE Mom]

Man, I REALLY like this gal...she’s terrific. I have heard a little about her- but this is the first time I’ve seen her.

Extraordinary.

[GlockThe Vote]

Condi was amazing.

[SoFloFreeper]

Don’t know much about Martinez...is she a true conservative or a RINO?

[defconw]

Party of white men my ass!

[Miss Didi]

Mrs. Clinton is doing cartwheels that she doesn’t have to compete with Condi’s speech at the DNC.

[rodguy911]

Let’s hope we see more of her.
