With regard to Condi Rice, I don't know why anyone would vote for her. She didn't seem to be very effective as SoS. I know that she is extremely bright, but just because someone is "book smart" that doesn't mean that they will necessarily do a good job in the real world. You see this type of thing all the time. There are economics professors that are brilliant about the economy in theory, but if you asked them to invest your money for you, they wouldn't have a clue.
That may be so in some cases, but there is a harvard professor doing a hell of a job running Harrah's casinos...with no prior experience to boot.
