[randym431]

that's like having to choose between a shit sandwich, a barf burger, or a dingleberry taco

 

[nageov3t]

dole is a tool.

ignoring the fact that condi rice doesn't even want to be president, is she remotely qualified? what has she done to distinguish herself as Sec. of State?

 

[ericlp]

anyone that said Rice is out to lunch...

 

[theeedude]

Clinton, no brainer.
Rice should have stayed at Stanford. As the saying goes, those who can, do, those who can't do, teach (and those who can't teach, teach PE )
Rice is the "can't do, teach" type. Her speciality at Stanford was Russia, yet she completely botched our relations with Russia.

Other than marry Bill Clinton what has Hillary done?

Dole: nice person, not sure she would make a good president, maybe VP if she was younger.

Got elected Senator, represented her state well, and got reelected.

As a Senator what has she done though? She got elected because she is married to Bill Clinton and nothing else.

BTW if her healthcare plan is so great why not introduce it today? Why wait till she gets elected she is a member of the government and can propose new laws. Step up to the plate Hillary and put your plan up for vote now.

her marriage to Bill is definitely an asset... I'd much rather have Bubba back in the white house than any of the Republican candidates except possibly McCain. but she had a pretty note-worthy past before her marriage, served 7 years in the senate, bringing many upstate republicans over to her camp, is on the armed services committee, and has served NY pretty well.

what would be the point? anything introduced would either a) never even be brought up for a vote thanks to republicans or b) be immediately vetoed by Bush.

Regardless of the three choices referred to, that's by far the best thing I've ever read in P&N(ok, doesn't say much, but it made me laugh )

I was very impressed by Elizabeth Dole on Letterman a few years back, but I have absolutely no knowledge of her politics.

 

[squirrel dog]

Rice . I think shes hot . She can sit under my tree any ole day .

 

[MonkeyK]

I don't see an option for Geena Davis

 

[manowar821]

I'd vote for stabbing myself. I wouldn't want a single one of them running.

 

[TheSlamma]

All 3 are hideous.

Especially Cankles-Clinton

 

[yowolabi]

I listened to Rice enough on Sunday morning talk shows to know that I'd never vote for her. I know nothing about Dole or any experience she's had that would qualify her to be president. I would at least consider Hilary, so that makes her the winner.

 

[glugglug]

I think the only option there would be to flee to Canada.
They could at least have a cat fight instead of an election to determine the winner!

 

[StageLeft]

Jessica Biel. She can sell me a war any time and make even bad news get delivered oh so good. You know I'm right, she'd be and independent with a real chance.

Her speciality at Stanford was Russia

It was? HAHA

Erm, not exactly.

Rice started learning French, music, figure skating and ballet at age three.[12] At age 15, she began classes with the goal of becoming a concert pianist. Her plans changed when she realized that she did not play well enough to support herself through music alone.[13] While Rice is not a professional pianist, she still practices often and plays with a chamber music group. Rice made use of her pianist training to accompany cellist Yo-Yo Ma for Brahms's Violin Sonata in D Minor at Constitution Hall in April 2002 for the National Medal of Arts Awards.[14]

Rice graduated from St. Mary's Academy in 1970. In 1974, at age 19, Rice earned her B.A. in political science, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver. In 1975, she obtained her Master's Degree in political science from the University of Notre Dame. She first worked in the State Department in 1977, during the Carter administration, as an intern in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. In 1981, at the age of 26, she received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the Graduate School of International Studies at Denver.

Rice was hired by Stanford University as an Assistant Professor in Political Science (1981?1987). She was granted tenure and promoted, first to Associate Professor (1987?1993), and then to Provost, the chief budget and academic officer of the university (1993?1999), and full Professor (1993?present).[19] Rice was the first female, first minority, and youngest Provost at Stanford.[20] She was also named a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Senior Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. She was a specialist on the former Soviet Union and gave lectures on the subject for the Berkeley-Stanford joint program led by UC Berkeley Professor George Breslauer in the mid-1980s.

As Stanford's Provost, Rice was responsible for managing the university's multi-billion dollar budget. The school at that time was running a deficit of $20 million. When Rice took office, she promised that the budget deficit would be balanced within "two years." Coit Blacker, Stanford's deputy director of the Institute for International Studies, said there "was a sort of conventional wisdom that said it couldn't be done ... that [the deficit] was structural, that we just had to live with it." Two years later, Rice announced that the deficit been eliminated and the university was holding a record surplus of over $14.5 million.[22]

In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, Rice served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

From 1989 through March 1991 (the period of the fall of Berlin Wall and the final days of the Soviet Union), she served in President George H.W. Bush's administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In this position, Rice helped develop Bush's and Secretary of State James Baker's policies in favor of German reunification. She impressed Bush, who later introduced her to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev as the one who "tells me everything I know about the Soviet Union."[26]

She was pianist enough to accompany Yo-Yo Ma live, got her B.A. in poly sci at 19, Ph.D. at 26, made an associate professor at Stanford at 32, and Provost of Stanford at 36. Then served for the H.W. Bush administration in the National Security Council and Special Assistant to the President.

Yeah, senseamp, her specialty is Russia. :roll:

The topic title clearly says "If only Women were running for President".

 

[fujimitsu]

LOL ^

Should've given us an "other" option.

There are women qualified, and while on paper those 3 choices might look viable, all 3 of them are as earlier described "dingleberry tacos".

I hear Romney would have a sex change and get implants if it would give him a bump in the polls
