More Hillary vs. Condi
Mark Coffey at Decision '08 highlights Peggy Noonan's current take on Hillary's chances in '08. After Noonan reels off a convincing litany of reason Hillary will be tough to beat, Mark notes:
After that quite brilliant analysis, though, she has to spoil my mood with this cheap shot at Condi:
...[the Republican who will face Hillary is] not Condi , because the presidency is not an entry-level political office...
In the comments to the post, Mark argues to the contrary:
I do think [commenter] Clint has a point on the vetting process of prior candidacies, but I think Condi is a special case...she has a newfound air of celebrity around her that, I think, means most of the rules don't apply to her.
I agree, and I really do think that Condi, if she runs, will be such a unique candidate that she will negate the prior-office hurdle. After all, it's not like it hasn't been done before. Of course it's a long time between now and then, but if Rice continues her current performance as SecState, I believe her candidacy as the first African American woman to run for president will be successful.
In any event, it's time to own up to my secret Faustian bargain I made on election eve. I prayed to whomever would listen that I would gladly trade the election of Hillary in '08 for the current election of GWB, and most importantly the defeat of the pathetic and mortifying John Kerry. I don't regret the deal.
