WASHINGTON -- Condoleezza Rice says it's a remarkable accomplishment that a black politician is on track for his party's presidential nomination.

The secretary of state says it's great for the country that Barack Obama is the expected Democratic nominee. Rice says it shows that the U.S. has come a long way. Rice herself is the second black to be America's top diplomat. Colin Powell was the first.

Get over it! She is a Republican as was her father because the democrats would not register him to vote, and her father was a loyal Republican and the man she admires most. She will vote for McCain like the rest of the Republicans. She just has the class to not sway voters. I agree with Condi Rice a black man running for president is great for this country. I'm sure Bill Clinton is peeved as he thought he was the first black president!

I don't think it's a stretch to think that she'd vote for Obama. Voting for McCain just because he's a Republican would be just as foolish as voting for Obama just because he's black. She's an educated woman and I'm sure she's made an educated choice. I agree that it's classy of her to keep it private.

She is an educated women, brilliant IMO which is why she would never vote for an idiot like Obama. He has made too many stupid mistakes and instead of admitting he made a mistake on the surge or on Iran he tries to cover them up or lies. 58 states, 10,000 dead from a tornado in Kansas, the Hanford nuclear waste clean-up vote lie, and on and on and on.... You honestly believe a person like Condi Rice would vote for that? I think not. McCain is not a conservative but he will at least stand behind his votes as a maverick which is honorable.

Maverick - sullen brat in Depends is more like it. You know how he fought against the inflation-adjusted current GI Bill, and offered an amended version. When the other version passed in the Senate, McCain was one of only two senators who didnt show up to vote on it. The other who didnt show was Ted Kennedy, who was fighting a brain tumor. Pout much, Johnny? And if you're pouting and punishing like a 7-year-old but actually you're 72, (1) you've been enabled most of your life and (2) you're not about to change.

Now that's a real man! That's "standing behind his votes!" That's a "maverick"! Right, you weirdos?

It's pointless to speculate on how Condoleeza Rice is going to vote! Her response was perfectly ladylike.
