About that Condi idea...

My thoughts on the McCain/Condi idea: not good. Republicans want Condi for a lot of reasons. She's an african-american woman in a high cabinet position, obviously very intelligent...and would bring a kind of star appeal to the ticket. She's exciting AND smart AND experienced.

However, the downsides pile on up, one after the other. She's pro-abortion. That's not what McCain needs. She has an unexplainable sympathy with the Palestinians. Not what McCain needs. She was one of the Iraq War architects. While I am for the war, McCain has gotten far by being an independent critic of how the war was conducted. He needs to keep his distance from the Bush administration.
