Considering the current situation in Washington I believe anyone who'd make a good POTUS would be too smart to want the job.
not so much washington, but rather the media. the people that would make great presidents would likely upset the mainstream media, and as such would be excoriated much like sarah palin was.
GOP can't find anyone meeting the qualifications, particularly #3 and #5. However, Jeb came in close by marrying a Mexican lady and checking off "Latino" as his race - he's now in talks with Bruce Jenner about meeting the qualification #1. Stay tuned for a special interview with Diane Sawyer, as "Jenny" is unveiled on national TV.
Stay within the following parameters:
1. Female
2. Member of a minority
3. Highly qualified
4. Willing to take on the job
5. Has the potential of winning
IMO, Condoleeza Rice meets the above requirements, except for #4. The last I heard, she absolutely didn't want anything to do with it.
So, what say you? Please keep in mind that party affiliation is irrelevant here.
The entire premise is "irrelevant here". Absolutely none of your list is part the Constitutional requirements to run or serve as President of the United States.
Thread Title -- Who SHOULD the parties nominate for POTUS?
The parties don't pick the candidates that run for office - they ultimately (through primary or caucus) choose from among the candidates a winner in each State, from the field of candidates.
Add to that - it's beyond goofy to make any candidate jump through the hoop of your criteria which IS both Sexist and Racist. Only a total FOOL would vote for the Leader of this great Nation based on "female" or "minority".

Condoleeza Rice needs to first try to get elected to something besides President the first time.
She needs to run for Fienstiens Senate seat, she could actually win that.
