What's That In The Water?

There has already been a lot of speculation as to who will run for President in 2008. That election will be somewhat unusual in that even though the existing President will not be running for election, his Vice President will NOT be seeking the job either (despite his charming personality--which would have made him a shoe in for the job--Cheney ruled himself out of the race years ago). That leaves the field wide open for both parties.

One of the more interesting names being thrown about for the Republicans is Condoleezza Rice. If she were to run and win, it would make both the first African-American AND the first woman President in the history of the United States. Her supporters are quite fervent, and they point to Rice's foreign policy experience as being among her strongpoints.

Huh? Are they on drugs? That's like the captain of the Titanic applying for a job commanding a tanker for Exxon, and citing his experience with icebergs as his chief qualification.
