Dick Morris
I had the displeasure of listening to that fool on my car radio today... He opined that Condi Rice would beat Hillary Clinton in 2008 ...He said Condi Rice could accomplish this by peeling off up to one third of African American voters while maintaining the historical * Republican advantage with white voters...




He also said Condi Rice was the Republican's only hope in 08 and is a great Secretary of State...


Without even being partisan how can she be a great Secretary of State if America if held in such low opinion by folks in most of the rest of world as measured by reliable public opinion surveys...

4. I Loathe Him..
I like Clinton a lot but sometimes I wonder how he could have ever worked with slime like him...


He reminds me of Joe Pesce's character in Casino all the way down to the Goombah haircut....

5. He was doing consultancy work
for a far-right party over here (The UK Independence Party) last year & subsequently was on my TV for a few weeks. How Clinton ever had anything to do with him is beyond me & I feel sorry for y'all having to suffer his insuferable idiocy.

9. Some Of What He Said Made Sense In A Partallel Universe Kind Of Way
If you assume that everything remains static in 08 but the % of the African American vote then a Rice candidacy makes sense...


BUT SHE WAS THE ARCHITECT OF THE GREATEST FOREIGN POLICY DEBACLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC!

10. But Rice Would Do Better Than Two Percent...
I don't know how well she would do but the Dems need to get at least 85% of the African American vote to win a national election to offset their traditional disadvante among whites....


The last Dem to win a majority of white voters was LBJ...

11. Wrongo!!!
Any African American gains would be more than offset by the whites who would vote against here because she is black. I am black and I doubt if a third of AA would vote for her, we know who and what she is. Her color will not overcome that!

13. He Said Some Wild Things..
He quoted


the editor of the Amsterdam News who said Rice would get 60% of the African American vote...


Mel Watt who said Rice would get 40%

and

Mike Espy who said Rice would get 33% or so....


If she can hold the other groups she doesn't need to peel of more than 20% to kill us...


IMHO , the fly in the ointment is she has been a pillar of one of the most inept administrations in history...

12. Ridiculous
There is no chance in hell that Rice will be the nominee. I think the nominee will be John McCain.
