What is needed in the US a real uniter. There are plenty of difference about the parties and about the American people, but as long as politics plays by Rove’s view of winning at all costs, solidifying the base identity and demanding that issues are dealt with in simple black and white terms, all of us will suffer.

We concerns me is that it seems not only does a candidate have to be protestant christian, but they HAVE to wear it on their sleaves just to look average!

We need a leader that will respect all social groups in america, and be charismatic enough to overcome the limits of group identity that plague both sides (but the social conservative are far more affected) to demand we dwell on the best of ourselves.

Not just with pretty rhetoric, but real leadership for the US and for the world. Without a vision of progressive policy, fiscal responsibility and

The next great leader will stop PR battles like teh debacle of the war on drugs or the rotting public education system, and actually build REAL SOLUTIONS.

Lyns, given the huge numbers of poor people in the US, a more socialistic policy is needed.

If Rice does run, she would be PERFECT for the job, altough at this time i doubt she’ll run, she would by far be one of our better presidents. She is already the 3rd highest person in our government, AND she wold get the minority vote just because she isn’t white.

Hilary…that is a joke, she would fail miserably just because she is extremely socialistic…she needs to learn that fair isnt always equal, she is against the very thing this nation is based on, capitalism. she wants the take from the rich give to the poor, but if the poor would do something to better themselves instead of waiting for the government to do it for them, then we wouldn’t have to have people like Hilary getting voted for office.

[...] Like Mark, I’m not a big fan of either Condoleezza Rice or Hillary Clinton as a presidential prospect, and I think it’s likely that both may be too tainted by the lies of the respective administrations they are associated with (just you wait, Condi). But this graph (via the polling report) is pretty amazing. I’m guessing that this must be the first time in American history that a woman has been in the lead for the presidential primaries of both major parties. Must be Geena Davis’s fault. [...]

Condi really doesn’t want to be president. But I think that she’ll run if she can be convinced that it is her moral duty to do so.

The race thing is a non-issue, except for fringe kooks in both parties. Bush has had more high ranking Blacks in his administration than any in American history. Yet I’ve not heard any Republican complaints about that.

The more I learn about Hillary, however, the scarier she seems. She is not Bill.

The democrats have lost the last two elections by nominating the most qualified but least personally warm candidate. If they are stupid enough to nominate Hillary they will keep that string in tact. As qualified or as good a president as she may be I simply do not think she is electable because she does not come across as a warm person.

Condolezza won’t run. She’s headed back to a cushy job with big energy after the Bush era.

The question is who will run from each side? Male or Female. I think the only name you can probably count on is John Kerry right now.

They’re over-exaggerating if they think Hillary Clinton is on a “virtually uncontested trajectory to win the Democratic nomination.”

Whether or not Senator Clinton runs, the fact is, she can’t win yet. Too many people who would vote against her, for reasons ranging from being a woman to being a Democrat to being a carpetbagger. Maybe in a couple of decades…

Rice? C’mon, I come hear for science commentary. If I want humor, I’ll go to the Onion.

A year ago I would have said that I didn’t think Hillary Clinton had presidential ambitions; these days it’s pretty clear that she does. Still, most of the “Hillary in 2008″ talk seems to be coming from Republicans, and I think it’s mainly because they think she would be a good candidate to run against. I don’t know if she has any real chance of getting the nomination, for the same reasons that Ted Kennedy never did: she has very high name recognition, and she’s a larger-than-life figure, but too many people hate her.

It would be well worth it simply for the pleasure of hearing Donna Brazille et al somemnly explain night after night why Condi is neither black nor a woman!
