In the past couple of weeks there has been quite a bit of noise about Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice being a winning Republican candidate for President in 2008. Probably Dick Morris has been the most forceful proponent, claiming that Condi would be the perfect candidate to run against presumed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Several of my correspondents also see this as a winning matchup, including a friend of mine who is a recovering liberal and happens to be young, black, and male -- and is not buying into the liberal rants about Condi. And I have to admit that the idea of someone so well-equipped intellectually is attractive to me as well.
But...
An article by Steven Warshawsky (Beware the Condi bandwagon) makes a good case for why Condi would not make a good candidate in 2008. It's an interesting read, and raises some important issues. Most importantly he raises good questions about Condi's demonstrable ability and lack of experience with executive leadership. Food for thought...
