These "Condi in 2008" sites can get a little...well, SCARY. Case in point:

DRAFT CONDI RICE!



The nomination of Condi Rice for President in 2008 would be the greatest political move of the century. (Okay, so that'd only be eight years, but still....)

Consider....

1. She actually knows what she is doing, a rare attribute in a candidate these days. A person doesn't get to be Provost of Stanford University by goofing off. Rather than spending her adult life running for office, she's actually ... well, gone out and worked hard. To be a "professional politician" has never been a mark of competence, energy, or skill.

2. She'd flatten the two remaining Democratic strongholds: women and African-American voters. In fact, it might just end the Democratic Party as an institution, leaving it to join the Whigs and the Federalists as subjects for American History 101. (Hit them while they're still trying to figure out how, with the backing of the mass media, celebrities, and Soros' millions, they still couldn't beat the fellow they called a smirking chimp).

3. We'd have the first woman President (and her name wouldn't be Hillary),

4. and the first African-American President,

5. and the first President who has proclaimed herself "a Second Amendment absolutist," repudiating everything including registration. Her father didn't hunt ducks -- he hunted Klansmen. (No proof that he got one, but Kerry never proved he got that duck, either).

6. She would also be the first unmarried President in over a century. All the supermarket mags could speculate as to whom she's dating now. (Okay, they could do it with Bill Clinton, too, but this would have a lot more decorum). Stolen glances at Prince Charles? Why did she appoint a 27 year old as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Paparazzi could pursue her as she sneaked away with a Marine guard. The Secret Service could detain the paparazi and "accidentally" drop them off the 14th Street Bridge. This gets better by the minute.

7. If she does get married, we'll have to figure out what the First Man of the U.S. does. Gets up on the White House roof to adjust the antenna? Trims the grass? Serves as the representative to NASCAR? (Takes out the garbage is a given).

Let 'em. She wouldn't get elected.

Well...not legitimately, anyway.

Put her in with the Poor Bloody Infanty and let her see firsthand what her incompetence has wrought in Iraq.

The fundies wouldn't vote for a woman or a black person. They may not say it outright but once in the voting booth they couldn't do it.

fundies not being the only ones, sadly

5. Her daddy killed people, bad white guys (good for getting the male white southern vote).
6. Dating speculation? Oh dear. Vote for a single woman and we can speculate about her sex life for the next several yrs!!
7. What does the current First Woman do? Oh, that's right, women aren't supposed to actually "do" anything. A first man would have to be a Real Man in order to not fall into the p-whipped category. Wouldn't a woman president be considered to be doing something though? I'm confused here so should just shut up and vote for her because if it's confusing, they have to know what they're talking about.

Yeah, that convinces me. Draft Condi
