Condi in '08?

RWN has up the results of a survey conducted by fifty right-of-center bloggers about their choice for President in 2008. Number one? Condi, with a bullet.

There's still a lot of time between now and then, but there's already a growing consensus that she's the candidate if she wants it. Personally, I think she would be a good choice if she's interested. Of course, she has never run for office, and that's a negative. But, she's almost certain to be the most intelligent candidate running and she'll have had eight years of experience in this administration. And it would be a real hoot to see Democrats' racist policies in full effect. A black candidate from the Republicans will be met with such hate and smear that even liberals will have to admit that they're a bunch of racists.

Of course, this is all dependent on her wanting the job. That's hardly a certainty. She might well want to get back to teaching, or some other venture that makes her a lot of money. But, consider this. IF she does run, and wins the Republican ticket, then we are virtually assured a female President in 2008, since the Democrats are most likely going with Hillary. It seems to me that even ten years ago, that discussion was not even possible.
