W.House likes idea of Condi for president

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House likes the idea of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice running for president, even if Rice herself keeps saying no.

At a time when Republicans like Arizona Sen. John McCain are openly pondering a run for president in 2008, Rice's name keeps popping up at the White House.

On Tuesday, when White House spokesman Scott McClellan was asked when the United States would have its first woman president, he noted Rice had just returned from the inauguration of Liberia's first woman president.

"But I'll avoid going there because I think she's made her views clear. But I have my personal thoughts about what a great job she would do," McClellan said.

Lesson from 2000: the guy with the most votes looses.

7. No way

The repukes base would never go for it.
I welcome it, she would be easy to beat.

15. I agree.

The racist wingnuts will never allow a black to run for prez in their party

[Junkdrawer]

8. They count the votes - They control the press - "Condi by a landslide...

over Hillary - What were the Democrats thinking?"

Now, excuse me while I :puke:

10. Hell no, not with all the angry white male Repugs

voting.... Kindasleazy will never make it out of the primaries.

12. Why would they? She has accomplished nothing as a political

leader, had repeatedly lied to the American people and basically has simply been a Bush shill.

[tularetom]

3. Oh please lord let her run

and please let the current administration endorse her. Even the most spineless Democratic candidate could tear her apart for the many errors, miscalculations and flat fuck ups she has been involved in. Not to mention the lies that seem to just roll off her forked tongue. She is our dream candidate.

4. Nah... She'll Hopefully Be Preparing for an indictment

of her own.

6. Con-girl for prez? A continuation of the nightmare.

[MidwestTransplant]

9. What's she going to run on? Incompetence?

Would the South think of an unmarried woman candidate?

11. Oh, Scotty, PLEASE share your "personal thoughts." Really. PLEASE.

"I lied THIS many times."

[WI_DEM]

13. I think it will be a McCain/ Rice ticket

which would be very tough to beat.

[William769]

16. I like the idea also

I'd like to see any Dem mop the floor with her.

17. KKK for condi

I don't think that will work, they will lose votes.
