One of the sites devoted to encouraging Dr. Condoleeza Rice to run for higher office (and I am not, for crying out loud, talking about VP, here, or governor of freakin' California) is Americans for Dr. Rice, which is now beginning to consider the notion of "drafting" her onto the ballot in a handful of states. If Dr. Rice could be added to the ballots in a few big states—let's say California, Texas, Florida, and one other—the momentum would build quickly.

The model is the Eisenhower campaign, which emerged from the grass roots.

I honestly believe that if Hillary Clinton runs for President and Condi is her opposition, Hillary will lose. Not because she isn't a shrewd politician, but because Condi is one of the smartest people on the planet. And those who don't steep themselves in the peace culture as if it were good English Breakfast tea sense that the girl can play chess. Not because she's getting good advice from a master-politician spouse—but because she figures things out for herself.

Condi's been the President's foreign policy coach for years; set her loose on the world leaders she's getting to know right now, and we'll see what it looks like when the leader of the free world really leads it. I'm talking Reagan-level leadership. She's got your "iron hammer" right here, Baby.

It is absolutely my favorite Condi site—and the one to watch right now. Make it a daily stop, because I feel things are about to happen, and these people will be in the forefront when it does.

4 I love Thompson, but he does have the baggage of having been involved with the Clinton impeachment trial. He'd make a great VP

5 I am rabidly eager to se this happen, and I agree: in a Clinton/Rice matchup, Clinton will lose. First, she carries more baggage than that old lady at the beginning of "Titanic." Second, I don't think that I'm totally biased when I say that her personality is unappealing. That's not a personal slam; I just think that, like Gore and Kerry, she doesn't connect well with voters. Dr. Rice, OTOH, is smart, tough and charming, just what we need as POTUS. Bring it on, I say.
