Run Rice Run!

Our new Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, made her first major diplomatic address in Paris, France recently. Both her prepared opening statement AND her responses to the foreign press during the Q&A round were the most profound, eloquent, and inspiring words I've heard from a modern politician. The width and breadth of her intellectual acumen is stunning (she seems to have total recall regarding geopolitical events, recalling exact dates of different major world events at will) and her demeanor is strikingly charming and attractive. It's hard to imagine any head of state saying no to her.

If there were any truth to the speculation that the Democrats will choose Sen. Hillary Clinton as their Presidential Candidate in '08, Republicans would be wise, in any event, to choose Condi Rice as their candidate for Pres in '08. Rice would make Hillary look like under-achieving, white trash by comparison. Think about it...Rice is single (she didn’t get where she is by riding on any man's coat tails) AND she's black for christ sake. This lady is so classy and impressive.... she will be the first black and first female president in my opinion...it's just the logical next step in her incredible career.

Update:
Dick Morris (a guy that knows a thing or two about campaigning) seems to agree with me. Check out his column "To Stop Hillary, draft Condi"
