i shudder at the thought!

i know i have nothing to worry about. the party to which she belongs would NEVER support someone of color much less a WOMAN for president. still, the thought is very distasteful indeed!

Diplomacy or campaign trail for Rice?
By Jonathan Beale BBC News,
Birmingham, Alabama
It took a small girl at Condoleezza Rice's old elementary school in Birmingham, Alabama, to ask the question most of us reporters had been thinking.
She wanted to know whether the US Secretary of State thought the US would ever have a woman president.
There was no real doubt as to what she was thinking: could she be looking at a future contender for the White House?
Ms Rice replied yes, she thought it would happen, before adding - her now well rehearsed denial - that she herself was not interested in running for office.
Maybe, but everything about this trip to her home state of Alabama - Republican to the core - had the feel of a campaign tour.
That speculation followed Ms Rice everywhere she went.
There were the middle aged white women who queued to hear her give a speech at the University of Alabama.
They were already wearing badges that advertised "Condi for President".
Or the football fans who awaited her arrival at the Tuscaloosa stadium to see Alabama take on Tennessee.
Nearly all of the fans I spoke to thought this was all about Ms Rice's political future............
