Rice for President!

Condi Rice denies any Presidential aspirations for '08 --- in spite of a poll in February in which 42 percent of voters said she should run.

Oh, absolutely. Run Condi. She has no chance of capturing the Republican nomination, and to make a credible run, she'll have to resign Sec'y of State by the end of 2006 -- essentially lame-ducking herself about a year and a half from now, and depriving Bush of a strategic toady at Foggy Bottom.

Oh, yes, by all means, run.
