Now starting off, I am no fan of Condolezza Rice. To be honest, she'll do anything to stay in her position, and she doesn't give a rats ass about anything but status and money.

BUT....The Republicans could have a decent chance at the WH in 08 if they:

- Dumped Cheney, like MONTHS AGO
- Replace him with Rice
- Then run her against Obama or Clinton

Thing is, if they ran her, the Republicans would have no one else to vote for and they would either sit out or vote for her. Many wouldn't vote, but there would be a sizeable number of Vichy dems who would vote for her, so they could say they voted for the first Female and Black president.

But of course, the only thing that scares the Republicans more than losing the White House is having an African American President.

1. Not only is she black and female,
she's also pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, and unmarried.

The far right would never in a million years accept her.

2. Don't give up yet.
The dick won't make it past xmas. But I don't think they will turn to her. She is a good rebube and will do as she is told but she won't get the nod.

And she has said she doesn't want to do it.

3. Except Rice has the charisma and "people skills" of a dried flounder. She'd lose BADLY.

5. look, I'll agree Al is kinda dry, but a week old dead dog has more charisma than Condi
I do think she'd corner the undead vote though.

7. No don't you know - Zombies want Gore!


AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
BY Grammarian
The Democratic Party's national convention was in Los Angeles from August 14 to 17, and on the afternoon of the 14th, while the scripted speeches and bright colors played on television, a few hundred activists gathered at a square downtown. There were protesters protesting big oil, logging, sweatshops, the death penalty, corporate globalism, the treatment of the homeless, union busting, the corporate media, nukes, military spending, police brutality, the genetic alteration of food, and poor bus service. Some members of the Los Angeles Cacophony Society, always eager to demonstrate their social awareness, were also in attendance, dressed in knifed-up, bloody clothing, painted deathly green, and carrying signs saying Zombies for Gore.
Before the second terrible folk singer had finished his song about illegal immigration legislation, we were playing clumsy zombie rugby with a rubber brain, spilling fake blood, and trying to eat our signs. When one of us had to go to the bathroom, we asked two police officers if we could use the facilities in the parking garage below the square. They smiled and said no. "Well where are we supposed to put together our bombs, then?" whined one of the zombies, and we returned to menacing the Green Party. A camera crew from MTV stopped to ask us questions about "what our message was," and we said, "grrrr" in various modulations. Miffed, the newscaster said in her best spoiled-little-white-girl voice, "but this is your chance to get your message out." We said "grrr" again and tried to eat her, but she was able to run away.

8. BWAHAHA! Why didn't I think of that angle?
I just meant since Condi IS undead, she might peel off some of Gore's zombie vote.

6. OK, you may have a point there. With the media pumping Rice up as much as they tore Gore down...
:shrug:
