She is in an administration that is very unpopular. And she is an insider in that administration. (Independents would go for her.)

She's not a politician. She's an academic, and a diplomat.

We don't know her views on anything. Because she's a bureaucrat.

She has many critics along the entire spectrum about her job at NSC, and now State. Many claim, she didn't and still isn't doing a good job.

In sum, nobody has even talked to Rice about these matters.

People tied to GWB are not popular.
Being a Bush insider has positive aspects too.

But you're right as long as the Iraq war outcome remains dubious her involvement will be seen as a liability.

I like the fact that she isn't a politician.
The Bush administration doesn't poll too well!
But gotta give them credit for not running things according to opinion polls with so many people still living in the year 2000 and are still inconsolable over Al Gore's defeat.
