For those eligible to vote.
If Condi Rice runs in 2008 will you support her campaign, even if you are a Democrat? I have a very big feeling that if the Dems. throw their weight behind Hillary Clinton, the Rep.'s will do the same for Condi, in an effort to counter the influence in which Hillary can draw up being the first strong women potential and all for the big seat on the Hill.
Condi has an comparable if not greater presence than Hillary and can effectively influence her... in being that she has actual sound experience dealing with first hand with global problems, is a woman, and as a bonus is African-American. With her, the US could finally achieve and put to rest two looooong time striving goals of having a women Pres. and a Black one.
Further more, by throwing their support behind Condi. the Rep. would surly achieve their goal of drawing away a large chunk of the AA vote from the Dem. party to the Republican. I read an article that stated that if an influential, dynamic AA representative like Condi or Powell were to be given the forerunner position by the Republican party, that the party would see the highest growth in its AA membership or support since the late 19th and early 20th centuries when AA's supported the party in equivalent percentages to which they now do the Democratic party.
At that time the Rep. party aka, 'The party of Lincoln' was highly respected amongst the AA population as the party that lead the charge to free the vast majority of them from the bonds of 250 years of institutionalizes Slavery in the nation, and then the Dem. party manged to gain their support starting in the middle part of the 20th century promising and pushing through extensive civil and social reform bills.
Many Dem. representatives are pissing in their pants over the notion of that the Rep.s and Condi are seriously thinking about going through with this plan in 08 if the Dem.s run Hillary. By the way; if Condi become the Rep. forerunner, not only will a large chunk of the AA vote jump ship and flood into the Rep. side, but also a rather large chunk of the Hispanic vot will as well, along with a sizable proportion of the White Liberal, and Jewish vote. It's a case of the Tides that bond.
Condi is the Rep. party's secret weapon against Hillary, and she will kick Hillary's *** like nobodies business if they run against each other. Not that I really care, since I think today's politics is all a bunch of bullish... I usually vote Democrat, but if Condi runs, I'm backing her; I'd personally be a hypocrite if I didn't.

I only read the first paragraph of your post and my answer is that she (Rice/ Garri or whatever you call her), should go and get married first.
BTW, I don't see a woman becoming president of the USA in the near future.

Most men would be too intimidated and shallow to marry such a powerful genius like Condi, unless they were after her wealth, but then they wouldn't have a chance with her... because she would see right through them, and doesn't seem the type to bother herself with such trash.

First of all.....the moment she runs for the Presidency, she will no longer be seen by the white majority as Condi Rice the Former Secretary of State, but a N**ger who thinks she can rule America and the Republican party would loose by a margin of historical proportions.
