I wish she would run for Vice President. Even though I know Biden wouldn't go after her (he's too nice a guy) I'm sure there are plenty of reporters with unanswered questions about the invasion of Iraq and her certainty that Saddam had WMD.

It seems being a forthright liar is a good thing for Republican voters.

Please, do run.

bin Laden Determined To Strike in US

Transcript: Bin Laden determined to strike in US - CNN

But Bush and Condi were too busy that Summer, outlawing stem cell reserch, giving kick-backs to campaign contributors (in the form of a 1.2 trillion dollar tax break to Bush's wealthy buds), and... clearing brush???

Bush started as president on January 20th, 2001.

George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November 2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005. Before his Presidency, he served for 6 years as Governor of the State of Texas.

As far as George Tennant, is that the same guy you fellas lambasted for false intel in Iraq?

You're welcome.

All that has been answered a gazillion times you're just willfully ignoring it.

As a bonus she could bring in the black vote.
Your last sentence is the most important one.

Yes, we should not fail to realize how many black Americans can identify with Condoleezza Rice and would vote for her based on that identification. (Just for the record, that noise you heard in the background was my Sarcasm Alert going off!)

No matter how you meant it, I think it will become more or less a must to have at least one minority member on future tickets...

Don't count on Condi Rice bringing many Black American voters.

Pick her for another reason i.e. see's got great foreign policy experience etc. but picking her just because she's Black is about the WORST reason to pick her as a running mate.

My problem with her is not only her participation in the advocacy of the Iraq War it's to this very day she continues to defend the false, fabricated and misleading intelligence used to justify the war.

Any political candidate that takes her on also brings the whole Bush 43 administration justification for the Iraq War BACK into the national political conversation. Most Republicans would rather let that sleeping dog lie.
