I don't agree with Rice on Abortion, I am far more Pro Life. I could live with her position on Abortion if she would appoint Strict Constructionist/conservatives to the Bench. Rudy did a great job after 9-11, but I couldn't live with him as a veep is a RINO who is a radical pro abortionist, no way Rudy can be the veep.

Clinton deserves credit for greatly increasing the number of women in government...beginning with Monica.

wining = winning

[Edmund Burke]

What elective offices has she held? Just wondering.

[Slyfox]

As previously mentioned numerous times here on FR, the wining GOP ticket for 2008 may well be: Jeb Bush/Condi Rice

Huh. Well, that sure would put a dent in Hillary's plans.

[ellery]

I'm not sure either... All I know is, I just love seeing the dems' traditional base erode:-)

[summer]

Well, that's the breaks! :)

[redhead]

Also add Starr Parker...

[Militiaman7]

Sorry, won't be enough to erase the serious wounding of the Constitution, Bush will do when he signs CFR.

Pubbies are betting the minority vote (read Hispanic and Afro-American) will be enough to make up for the loss of what once was the conservative wing of the Republican party.

[Urbane_Guerilla]

wow ... your #2 hits it exactly on the head ... wonderfully expressed ... when any of us thinks how personally difficult it can be in certain circumstances to express conservative principles ... then when you look at black conservatives, you really must have a sense of awe and admiration

[Stultis]

What elective offices has she held? Just wondering.

None. This is her biggest weakness, but I don't think it's fatal by any means.

[section9]

Given the fact that she has more brains, character, and honesty than about 99% of the politicians out there, I wouldn't hold her lack of elective office against her.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Mr. K]

I used to wonder that too- but I think it is just I LIKE THE WAY CONSERVATIVES THINK, and I guess it is just such a refreshing change from the race-baiting jesse jackson or 'reverned' sharpton...

[The Great Satan]

If elected, I wonder if Condi would burst into tears on national TV and offer teary encomiums to Dorothy Dandridge and Sidney Poiter and her lawyer and her agent.

[T. Jefferson]

From the article) Everyone forgets how controversial a choice Dick Cheney was..

It's easy to forget something that never happened.

[alnick]

Wouldn't it just chap the 'rats' hides for Republicans to give this country its first black and its first female VP, and have her be eminently qualified to boot.

[GraniteStateConservative]

And I wish they would exile Colon Powell to Tom Jefford's Office.

Send Colin Powell there, too. Or send 'em both to Jim Jeffords' office...

: )

[GraniteStateConservative]

Actually, I suspect Rice's views on abortion are that it is a state issue (a more libertarian viewpoint)-- which is pretty much Antonin Scalia's view.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Same ones as Ross Perot-- and 20% of the country thought he'd make a good President.

Actually, she was Provost of Stanford-- a highly political job.

[TigerTale]

The last thing this country needs is more CFR Marxist type indoctrinates in our government.

Please outline the Marxist elements present in the policies advocated by Ms. Rice. Please be specific.
