Finally, to be crass about it, if you compare Rice's level of physical fitness to that of Hillary, well, let's just say that the joke is on the Dairy Queen.
Hillary's hopes lay on siezing women and minorities in such numbers as to overwhelm the votes of white males who will vote en bloc for a Jeb Bush or a Bill Frist. Rice destroys that entire strategy and forces Hillary to fight a defensive battle to maintain the latter's base vote.
As a pro-2nd Amendment, RKBA, pro-defense Republican, white males would be fairly secure in Rice's camp. As a Federalist and a believer in low taxes, she would secure her conservative base.
But again, one cannot wish away the abortion issue, and Rice will have to be more forthcoming as to her reasoning than she has been up to now.
Be Seeing You,
