Might as well throw that in, just about every white person I know does.

LOL! As far as I know I'm strictly a colonial aggressionist
The German/Polish thing is in some dispute. Apparently the border fluctuated so much for a while you could be Polish but with a German birth certificate and vice versa, and many communities had both, or so I've been told.

Powell wasn't strong enough, Cain didn't have the experience, and sadly Rice is probably too close to Bush Jr even now. Agreed outside of her there doesn't seem to be any '16 potentials in the GOP.

Powell nailed his dick to the floor of the U.N. council chamber during the run up to Iraq, Pete.
Herman 'Uzbeckibeckistanstan' Cain lacked a lot more than experience despite his Godfather pizza biz acumen.
Condi Rice was simply a bit of fawning window dressing for the Shrub even with her Stanford U presidency she's a has been.

A Sec of State as window dressing?

Can you articulate any accomplishments of Condi? Either as NSA advisor or as SOS?
As Finn pointed out she was subsumed by Rummy (a smarmy barking idiot corporate raider) and Darth Cheney.

The only thing that stands out in those positions is failure.
She was not the Pres. Does anyone really think she'd be run over by anyone if she was?

As fine and accomplished a person as Condi is, she was undistinguished as a Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. I think Hillary would be far harder to push around than Condi, FWIW.

It could prove interesting. I'm not sure Condi is ready for the rough and tumble of the GOP primaries, much less a cage match with Hillary.

Agreed, I'm not sure either on both counts. I am willing to find out
It's entirely possible she wants nothing to do with the whole mess anyway. I don't have the hubris or drive or whatever it takes to go through what they do.

I'd much prefer the job and location at Stanford to working in the serpent's den of DC.
