I think he's up to something.

Oh, and one more theory. How 'bout Powell vs Clinton for the Whitehouse in '08. We'd have to decide between a black man or a female....thats would make for a real interesting situation.....what do you think?

Democrats would NEVER nominate Hillary and if they did then they deserve to lose in 2008. Hillary Clinton would FURTHER energize right of center voters to come out and vote as they did in this election - all at the chance of getting to vote AGAINST a Clinton again. It would be great.

Powell is stepping down because I think hes had enough. His was more of a favor to Bush than anything else I think. The job is NOT easy - at all folks. Hell Secretary Of The Interior isnt an easy job. . .none of the cabinet positions are. How would you like to be called that "Uncle Tom serving on that Fucking Nazi's Admin" and then smile and say "its all worth it". THAT and he could make MORE money in the Private Sector. . .If I wasnt Pres or had aspirations for federal office - I'd probably step down as well.

And Rice is a fucking Dr. - Dr. Condolezza Rice. Shes also a child prodigy.
