Skeptical Brotha:
Beyond attacking Condi, would you like to comment on the miserable 8 year record of the Clinton Administration in regards to appointing Americans with African Heritage, vs. eight years of “W”?

and what about Ron Brown?

Whoever believes in this fantasy Condi campaign really needs to see a shrink, pronto. Or, more likely, rehab. The Republican party will never turn to a black woman no matter what her qualifications or ideology may be.

Let me qualify that by saying emphatically that I didn’t mean to imply that Condoleezza is qualified. She Ain’t. I am just a little exasperated by the right wing cheering squad for the GOP stable of sycophantic negroes. Condoleezza’s detestable domestic politics and international war crimes are enough of a disqualifier.

Being a handkerchief head negress is just the icing on the cake. Condi will never be President. Don’t wish for it. God help us if her narrow behind ever alights in the Oval Office.

The only one who can stop Hillary is Condi…

Uh, notice how the Dems wish they had a candidate as good as Condi. Notice, how “W” and the evil Karl Rove have groomed her in their administration, along with other Americans with African Heritage to hold high posts…. Mr Powell, anyone?

Can’t say that for the Clinton Administration… Who have they “groomed” for National office? Seriously…

Hillary can and will win. I have every confidence that after 8 years of the ignorant dry drunk, people will want a sober, intelligent policy wonk. That’s what Hillary provides. The question is, who will her VP be? Who should it be?

Running as the VP candidate is about as hard as running for president. I’m not convinced that he would do that. But let’s just play this thru: assume that he accepts the #2 position and the ticket wins. In that case, he’s out of the running in 2012, unless the sitting president chooses not to run for re-election (unlikely). So that puts him at 2016 for his first run as president.

If the ticket loses, he’s still got to find something to do between 2008 and 2012. I can’t imagine him sitting on his hands.

Personally, I think he should have stayed in the race – at least a while longer. I’m afraid he’s missing an opportunity – like Gore did when he decided not to run, thinking Bush 41 was unbeatable. By the time he realized that Bush 41 was vulnerable, it was too late for him to get in the race and he ended up serving as VP for 2 terms before he got his chance to run for president.

Speaking of Gore – I’m starting to think he may be the only one who can derail the Hillary Clinton train.

And, of course, he says he’s not going for VP; nobody does! But, if the calls comes, mark my words he would take it in a heartbeat — its simply the nature of any political beast. Mark is no better or worse than any other ambitious political person in this regard. He wants to move up — not sideways.

As for Viola – didn’t you notice the smileys? It was a joke. I don’t have any idea as to whether she’s qualified to be AG – only that she is a lawyer. And there is no way that anyone would run for statewide office with only “nominal competition” as I put in the post.

2. Vivian, as far as your sources saying Warner would not accept VP, all I’ve got to say is get better sources. Of course he would accept it IF offered — what better way to get known nationally? He is a politician with national aspirations, afterall.

3. Does Viola Baskerville even qualify to run for Attorney General? Yea, I guess (?) she went to Law School but she really never has been a practicing attorney and probably even isn’t a member of the bar.I think that she would run for LG again though, quite honestly, I really don’t think she’s a very good statewide general election candidate.
