“I think she is likely to be the nominee. She’d be the toughest person. And I think Hillary Clinton is able to be elected president of the United States,” said the veteran Democratic lawmaker, who is weighing his own presidential run.
Meanwhile, some Republicans are equally convinced that a woman will lead the world’s most powerful nation after 2008, but say her name is Condoleezza Rice.
There is talk of not one but two women vying for the role of US leader in the 2008 election. Hillary Clinton, seen by friends and foes as a powerful political figure, could be faced with Condoleeza Rice as a republican opponent.
While Democratic blogs and new agencies write off Rice as an image with no content, many republican writers and politicians describer her as the perfect US leader.
We support Dr. Rice not simply because she can get elected. We think she will be a great leader and do truly great things for this nation and the world. Condoleeza’s intelligence, compassion, determination and sheer brilliance; combined with her knowledge of and experiece with world affairs, would make Dr. Rice one of the best presidents of all time.
Rice2008 adds that “from a purely political standpoint, condi’s ability to attract women and minority voters makes it virtually impossible for the democrats to win”, suggesting that she is not only an ethical choice, but a smart one as well for the 2008 election.
