HILLARY! Gore/Clinton, this could be the end of the Democrat Party. (Neither Gore or Hillary could tolerate this combination.)

As much as I really appreciate Cheney, IF, and that's a big IF, in 04 Mr. Cheney for medical reasons decides NOT run for VP, Condi would be a MOST EXCELLENT DUDETTE to replace him! I would vote for Rice in 08 for President in a heartbeat. She'd make an EXCELLENT PREZ!!

[What Is Ain't]

This is one of the most stupid (and that's saying something) Guardian articles I have read.

When they write about the U.S., I discover just how little they know about this country.

I will apply this new insight to all their future material.

Rice is an anomaly in Republican corridors of power, which have long been dominated by a white, wealthy, old boys' network

What a lie. Herbert hoover was not wealthy. He was a middle class Iowa man who was an engineer by trade. Wendle Wilkee was not wealthy. And Tom Dewey was a prosecutor with no wealth. Ike was a farm boy. He spend his adult life living on an army salary. Nixon was the son of a lower middle class Quaker family. Jerry Ford was a very middle class man. Reagan was the son of an alcoholic store clerk. The Bush's are a mildly wealthy family but the Cheney family is not.

On the Democratic side FDR was from a rich and powerful New York Family that had been rich since New York was New Amsterdamm. Harry Truman was not rich, but Adlai Stevenson was. Kennedy was rich and Jimmy Carter was not. Clinton was not rich. But no Republican is as rich as Ross Perot. And almost all the super rich are Democrats. Buffet, Gates, Ford, Vanderbuilt, and Rockefeller are all Democrats. The Presidents of GE, Merril Lynch, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner,and Boeing are all Democrats. The presidents of the New York times, Washington Post, LA times and CNN are all Democrats.

If Democrats are the party of the poor, how come all the super rich people are Democrats?

Regretably she is pro-abort. Otherwise it would be a great idea.

Stay in school, work hard, trust in God, and yes, you - a little black girl from Birmingham, Alabama - might actually move into the White House. One can only imagine the howls of laughter this would have elicited from the Rice's white neighbours.

An ignorant and racist comment from the author. It is Black peers who "howl with derisive laughter" at any sugestion that America is anything but an evil enterprise. Black children who exhibit the values taught to Condi by her parents are ridiculed by their peers as "being too white."

Morning bump.

I thought, by the title, the article might have something to do with this....

Bush Chooses Clinton for East Timor Mission

Then I wondered if there was a correlation in this...

Clinton aides say he was invited by White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.

But now I think just everyone - EVERYONE - is going to be happy come 2004.

Condi Rice topics list bump.

Conventional wisdom has long held that the first woman in the White House, like the first black American, would be a Democrat.

This may be conventional wisdom, but it is SOOO wrong.
The Democrat party sees minorities and women as incapable of "making it" on their own without government assistance. People in these categories, according to Democrat thought processes, are inferior to the elitists in power who "know what's best for them".

Conservatives, on the other hand, see all people as having the potential of rising to the highest position based on their abilities, given that the government does not interfere and just functions to protect liberty.
