Yes, and it was pretty obvious that she has no taste for being attacked, having her words twisted and being called a liar. Unless she starts enjoying those things a little more, or at least not minding so much, she won't be running.
Why would Condoleeza Rice want to be President? She reportedly likes her privacy, so I doubt she's interested in having Toles do a nasty cartoon about her every week. She doesn't seem like the type who would do it for the power, especially since Presidents don't really have that much power but they DO get all the blame. Nor does she seem egocentric enough to do it simply to be the first black/woman President.
Why would she run for President?
How long have we all hundered for a major politician, especially a GOP'er, to tell the media to pack sand?
How many times have we wished for someone to take an absurd question and handle it as such leaving the inquisitor left looking like the idiot they are?
Wouldn't it be nice to hear her say "Well, if an accomplished black woman whom is also a Republican and President to boot sends you into a tizzy, doesn't that say more about you than it says about moi?"
Condi is no politician in the sense we've grown accustomed to. It's been said that one of Howard Deans strengths was that he says what he thinks not what he thinks you want to hear. Of course, that fell apart when it was discovered that there really wasn't much thought behind Howards thoughts.
So yeah, maybe Rice ain't up for the job as we know it.
Maybe, however, she is up for the job as it ought to be.
