One of my Republican friends recently told me flat out that Condi Rice would never be nominated because the GOP has too many racist elements in the party. I'm not to sure, especially when you consider just how much Condi would do to neautralize Hillary and bring moderates into the party. I don't believe there are enough racists left in the GOP, even among local primary voters, to sink their most electable candidate.
Some Republicans don't want to risk it. USNews reports that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell is being floated as a candidate for the office of His Royal Superflousness.
The hot 2008 GOP presidential ticket links either Virginia Sen. George Allen or Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour with ... Blackwell.
USNews quotes a Republican strategist as saying running a Black conservative man for vice president is a "dream ticket." Especially since both the presidential hopefuls he's linked to are southerners--they may want a Southern Gentleman to reassure their party's more reactionary elements.
Just as long as Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee doesn't run. So far, Huckabee has done two things that have been noticed outside Little Rock. First, he promised to stay married to his wife. Second, he wrote a diet book. It's called Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork (When There's a Perfectly Good Shovel in the Shed) and I would hate to see a diet book become my generation's Profiles in Courage.
Ohio secretary of state is a real stepping stone! What about Condi's views on domestic issues? I dont know what they are, but that would be a factor. Your generation's Profiles in Courage will probably be a comic book. GUYPost a Comment
