I've said from the beginning that I respect Ms Rice and think that you would see a vastly different side of her if she were to become President. It's easy for folks on the sidelines to put her down for being a "good soldier", perhaps had they seen the things we saw in the 60's they would have a different take! Before you can change anything...you have to be in a position to do so! Politics by definition is the science of compromise...the trick is to safeguard your beliefs and integrity inside until a time when you can make a difference! I firmly believe that both Hillary and Condy are good folks...I can only hope that we get a chance to vote for one for President...both would be great!

Somerfrost,
This has been a "polite thread", and I like it that way.
You are certainly entitled to your opinions, as are others, as am I.
Just a couple of questions...
1) Does it cost any more money to keep one's mouth shut rather than have lies come out of it to support a "war of choice"? (Condi)
2) Although Hillary certainly has a war chest that dwarfs her opponents, her positions have always been "hedged". Do you think she needs to do a bit more to gain the confidence of those that she seeks support from?
At this point, I don't support either of your choices.
