I hope she didn't actually say that. Because Rice has already come out and said emphatically that she will not run. If she did, she might as well say "I predict that people will vote in the next election".RightatNYU said:Mrs. Bush also predicted Condoleezza Rice won't run for president in the next election.

"One former first lady is offering predictions about another. Barbara Bush greets Hillary Rodham Clinton after the presidential election.
Barbara Bush said former first lady, and current senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the Democratic candidate for president in 2008.
But Sen. Clinton won't be the nation's first female president, at least not according to Mrs. Bush.
Mrs. Bush, 79, said Clinton will lose in the next election.
Mrs. Bush also predicted Condoleezza Rice won't run for president in the next election.
Mrs. Bush spoke to high school and college students in Modesto, Calif. She told them she never dreamed she'd be the wife of one president and the mother of another.
As for the current chief executive, his mother jokes that when he was a boy, she 'just hoped he'd grow up.'"
Barbara's got it right...
Pacridge said:Hum, I need to go find an article that informs us that Al Franken doesn't think much of the Bush Administration. Then I'll go find one that details just how much Rush L. likes Clinton. About as informative as a solunar table- Yep! the sun is not only going to rise tomorrow morning, it's also going to set in the evening.
ShamMol said:agree
i lauged at the ridiculousness of this post. next thing i know, you will predict that george bush is not president of the united states
26 X World Champs said:Is this supposed to be NEWS? It would be NEWS if she said MS. Clinton will WIN.
This 'story' is PROPAGANDA. Let me guess, she also predicted that Kerry would lose?
BTW - How'd she do in 1992? What was her prediction then?
This thread is a waste of bandwidth.
Toby said:My thoughts exactly.... Big shock - Hillary doesn't stand a chance in winning if you ask me.
Contrarian said:Be careful what you say! 26X was right. We are both New Yorkers (I moved however) and everyone said there was NO WAY she could take the conservative upstate of NY... well look who is Senator.
The scary thing is, she has been working VERY hard at establishing herself as a dedicated servant of the people and believe it or not is held in very high regard by people on BOTH sides of the aisle.
She is already at work establishing herself as a religious spiritual person and conspicuously changed her rethoric on abortion etc. She's going for it... and if she wins 60 - 75% of the womens vote along with the liberal and minority votes (assured)... She is also married to one of the most successful political fundraisers in the history of America and he owes her BIG TIME!
Mrs Bush will be eating crow. Remember where you heard it first!

Contrarian said:Right you are Pac. One of the reasons Bush won (along with Kerry having nothing to say) was the fear mongering and mud slinging of the Rove gang. They were masterful at it.
Contrarian said:The American people have very short memories. Secondly, Rice has all the charisma of an old shoe. She's brilliant, but zero personality... and would suffer the same stigma as Colin Powell. The southerners might tolerate her as Sec of State, but a black as VP or Pres just won't fly and a woman to boot!
It will be an interesting horserace. Maybe we can start a betting pool now before things get too heated!

Pacridge said:I liked a clip I saw of Dr. Rice the other day where she was standing next to Bush and she started to say. "Well My Husb..Uh, President Bush"
It was hilarious!
I think it's way too soon to know. Remember how Dr. Dean was "a lock" as late as December 2003? So much can happen that for anyone to make a prediction is premature.RightatNYU said:Aside from the fact that we "heard it first" 6 years ago when she was running for Senate for the first time, I think you dramatically overrate Hillary's chances of winning. She's doing her damndest, but I don't see her even getting the nomination.
Uhmm....no, I don't see it. Rice has never run for any office, and has flat out said that she will not run for any office in 2008. Tim Russert had her say she will definitely not run, period.RightatNYU said:Perhaps she'll be a VP candidate, but I think the possible Republican inclusion of Condi Rice as a VP (which will become a lot more likely if Hillary runs), will counter any increase in female votes Hillary will get, and may even swing African-American votes toward the GOP in numbers not seen since Lincoln.

Plus, the minority vote will never go towards the Republicans if they continue to do as they always done, exclude minorities from prosperity while back slapping the wealthy....
Yes, I knew she was a stellar pianist. I saw a clip of her playing for her hus...President Bush, she’s good, really good. As for “Rummy Boy” after the way he’s treated, or miss treated, our troops I really don’t care how well he sings.RightatNYU said:It's always interesting to find out stuff about political officials lives.
Did you know that she's a world class pianist, and Rumsfeld is a fantastic baritone? They sing Christmas carols together every year at Camp David.
That would be something to see, eh? Right up there with Rumsfeld's wrestling matches.
They're certainly making head way with minorities. Ever since big business and fiscal conservatives figured out they could gain votes by pandering to the religious right more and more minorities have crossed that line. Individual welfare bad, corporate welfare good. Janet Jackson’s boob popping out bad, political boobs popping out good. It all makes sense.26 X World Champs said:I think it's way too soon to know.

Contrarian said:I think we should start our own little rumors that W is diddling Condi on Air Force One! I wouldn't put it past the Texas party boy. Did you ever notice that there are as many "Gentlemens Clubs" in Houston as there are churches?
I use to really respect McCain as a straight shooter until he became Bush's butt boy in the last election. I lost alot of respect for his bowing to the pressure. A sad day for freethinkers in America.
