Condi For President?

I would vote for a Condi Rice ticket; however I am not sure other Republicans would. Rice is more of an Academic than a politician; this may harm her stamina in a political campaign as they are operated in the 21st Century. The last true Academic to reside in the White House was Woodrow Wilson.

I think Rice would be great as a Vice Presidential candidate with just about any Republican Presidential candidate. Rice is intelligent and articulate and able to hold her own in a verbal exchange with the Left. Rice will have the aura (for better or for worse) of the Bush Administration which should enhance her Conservative credentials. On the other hand, Rice has the appearance of a Republican moderate from her public speeches. This could slice into the Democratic Party few who do not view themselves as the slanted Lefties as Reid, Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy.

I think Rice would be an imposing campaigner as the number two person on a Presidential campaign. If that campaign was victorious in 2008 and the next Administration she would be involved with did not drop the ball politically, Rice would then be a shoe-in for President in 2012 or 2016.
