Condosleeza May Be Running For President
Noted self loathing homosexual Matt Drudge reports she is "mildly pro choice" on his site.

Which is good news, because the Talibornagain crowd, which controls the nominating process in the Repub party, will never let her get the nomination.

Besides, why would Americans elect a liar who has never run for public office before?

4. no, this might be a good thing
my guess is that there are a lot of Republicans who would never vote for a black woman. If she were to win the Rep. nomination (which I seriously doubt), it might make a Democratic victory easier.

7. Bingo
I'd guess there is a hardcore of about 15 - 20% of Republicans who would shoot themselves before voting for a black person, much less a black woman. Enough to easily hand the election to a Democrat, as long as we run someone mildly electable.

17. yes, but
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 09:39 PM by imenja
even as I wrote that post I felt guilty about using racism to our political advantage. But I expect Republicans know very well what you said, and for that reason and others they will not nominate Rice. Of course, there is no saying she even wants to win. A few weeks ago I would have said the whole idea was absurd because she didn't have the personality of a politician, but she seems to be basking in the glow of the limelight of Sec of State.

48. They'll lose their beloved South
The Pukes down here (I'm in Mississippi) compliment and tolerate Sleeza, as long as she knows who's the BOSS -- makes them feel like they're actually progressive somehow. They'd rather eat a box of cat turds than actually have to VOTE for her, though.

2. She would get massacred in the primaries
She couldn't beat Bauchanan or Quayle. Seriously, no chance at all. I hope she runs. She'll learn alot about her base if she does.

9. She may flirt with the prospect but...................
she'd probably get death threats like Colin Powell did.
There is no way that black and a woman would get any votes in the South during the primary much less than the general election.
Condi has become to the Left what Hillary is to the Right the symbol of everything that is wrong with the other side.

11. OR, why would a decidedly racist homophobic woman hating party
elect a black single woman?

I seriously doubt it would happen, but she could be on the ticket as VP -- just to get the african american vote.

13. Considering their affinity for liars...
... she stands a good chance of being #44.

Her race could be an advantage in a campaign based on the standard intimidation & manipulation... accusing any detractors (Dem or Rep) of racism and/or sexism.

More importantly, who will best further or facilitate the Rep agenda, and who is Rice’s ‘architect’?

Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 09:41 PM by imenja
someone who is pro-choice but afraid to say so in public. She'd probably support limitations on abortion rights but not their full-scale abolition.

37. Yes, but he's WHITE...
...and MALE.

I doubt you'll see many "NASCAR dads" pulling the lever for an "uppity colored woman," even if she does refer to Chimpy as her "husband." Make that especially if she refers to Chimpy as her "husband."

Actually, I'd be more concerned about Democrats crossing over and voting for her because of her gender and/or race.

21. If she gets on the ticket for 08, she'll win. Of course,
any Repub will win since the voting machines are deciding the elections in our country and have been doing that big-time since the 02 election cycle.

23. Same Democrats still spewing the same old, same old, sometimes
I wonder who has the problem the most Democrats/Repubs. You say they are racist, but they are smart because they know what it takes to win and Dems just keep spewing the same old garbage. Wake up folks or go to sleep forever, if Condi runs the Repugs win hands down.The Repugs will see that she wins and even if she looses they still win because they dared put her on the ticket. What better way to kill Democrats forever than to put Condi on the ticket, you can almost kiss people of color goodbye from the Dem party if it happens.

34. If Kindasleezy could get the Repug nomination,
she would be SWAMPED in the general election by any competent Democrat. She would be a terrible candidate--she's thin skinned, she lies often and poorly, she's never been married, she speaks like a drone, and she's never held elected office. Throw in the sex and race factors and she gets crushed.

Kindasleezy running would be the best possible thing for the Democrats and the country.

25. Oh, but I thought the other GOP favorite was Ahnold?
Let's say they get that ammendment through so Ahnold could run, whom do you think will survive the primary, Condi or Ahnold?

I'm taking bets at the window right now. I think this could be a nasty contest between nasty people.

I suppose she could get married.

In fact I don't think she'll be running at all, but likely would have some part in a future Republican administration.

Didn't I hear somewhere or other that she wants to head up the National Football League?

45. I imagine there will be a high level meeting of the Carlyle Group
to choose an appropriate husband for her quickly.

Kind of a bad Hollywood movie. Upwardly mobile black women gets to be President, but ONLY if she can find a husband within the next six months.

Who else will Karl back other than a puppet? A parasite needs a host and Bush cannot be re-elected. What did you think.... Rove would get that much power and then give it up? For an plurality? For a Republican leadership contender not in Rove's control?

ha ha ha ha!

42. condi
Isn't her lack of leadership qualities and incompetance a factor in choosing her to be President?

She should be in solitary confinement for the rest of her life only for her bungling before 9-11. She was in a damn good position to have prevented it and her actions facilitated it instead!

I find her as repellant as GWB, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, et al. Why the fuck would America like ANYTHING about her?

Her victory would spark the next American Revolutionary uprising of the masses!
