Speaking of Condi Rice, I read an article on NationalReview.com that mentioned her running for president in 2008. I found my reaction surprising… It occurred to me that I probably would vote for her if she ran. Now I don’t want to sound sexist, but before this, I really couldn’t see myself voting for a woman for president. It’s not that I set this up as a general rule or that I’m against the idea… it’s just that I couldn’t think of any female politicians for whom I would care to vote when it comes to that office. Rice, though, I like. She’s sharp as a tack and wonderfully articulate. Eight years (that’s right, eight) of cutting her teeth in the Bush administration and I think she could be a viable candidate.
