    Angry Condi Rice leads race to replace Barbara Boxer in Ca.

    Condi Rice is back in the news boys & girls.

    Good news too or what?

    CONDOLEEZZA RICE LEADS RACE TO REPLACE BARBARA BOXER IN CA




    The leader in the race to replace retiring U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in America’s most liberal state is… Republican Condoleezza Rice, according to a new Field Poll released Wednesday. Rice, the former Secretary of State and Stanford don, is backed by 49% of voters–ahead of Attorney General Kamala Harris, the liberal Democrat who was the first to declare.

    The poll, which sampled 972 likely voters in California, presented respondents with a list of 18 potential candidates and asked if they “would be inclined or not inclined to vote for that person,” with no limit on the number they could support. Rice led among both male and female voters, and did well among Latino voters, though the top choice for Latinos remains former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Rice and Harris each polled 74% among their respective political parties."

    Perhaps those Libs in CA are finally waking up to smell the coffee after years of one-party rule.

    I'm quite surprised to see her back in the political sewer. She said she was returning to the academic world for good.

    Pleased, but surprised. Wonder what changed her mind?

    True. I just thought she'd had her fill.

    She claims to be fluent in Russian, although there are numerous blog articles which dispute this. She also claims fluency in French, and working-level Czech.

    If she had a (D) after her name that would be more than enough to get her suspiciously branded as a pointy-headed elitist and probably a communist as well by the Deep Thinkers on the current American right.

    Add in the fact that she seems to like life in Academia and FOX-bots would be screaming for her to be tarred and feathered.

    According to wiki and others:

    Russian, Spanish, French, and I think another.

    What level? Who knows.

    Where did she study these languages? When? For how long?


    With English as the global language and interpreters, I assume she does not use these language much.

    I don't know anything about her beliefs or policies. She was in the Bush admin as a bureaucrat at State, so who know what she really believes in. I suppose we'll find out if she runs.

    She is tied to the Neo-Cons that went into Iraq based on a lie.

    That's enough for me to say, "no" to Condi. Get another Repub in.

    National Security Advisor and Secretary of State - bit more than "a bureaucrat at State".

    I still consider here a bureaucrat who was working for her boss, GWB.

    I'm not using the term bureaucrat negatively.
