I'll vote for you either way. A great campaign ad would be Condi in her Matrix outfit offering voters the choice between the blue and red pill. "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/25/204264.aspx#204377Fri, 25 May 2007 18:56:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:204377JJ in NJWonderful.

Ahhnold is probably choking right now. Ms. Rice is a good little soldier - follows whereever her baby bush leads. I have never seen any instance of independent thought from this woman.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/25/204264.aspx#204433Fri, 25 May 2007 19:39:35 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:204433Mark ThiemeRice will probably never return to the classroom as a primary vocation. One good reason is that she chose a bad major: the Soviet Union. That was her specialty and still is. Unfortunately the (former) Soviet Union has not cooperated with her academic career in that Mr. Gorbachev tore that wall down. Tough luck for Condi there. She is tenured at Stanford and has a few friends left, but more likely she will plant herself in the phallic ivory tower that houses the Hoover Institution on the Stanford campus. There, she can pontificate about the (former) Soviet Union, make burnt offerings to the living spirit of Milton Friedman, run for governor or dominatrix of a variety of states, not likely California. The Republican governor of the moment has turned way left and the natives love him for it. The Republican party in CA would run her in a Cold War minute and she would lose to just about anybody in a landslide. Too much squat on her Ferragamos. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/25/204264.aspx#204477Fri, 25 May 2007 20:16:54 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:204477Ricardo in California Condi ... i know Governor Schwarzenegger ...
