Personally I prefer rumsfeld because he seems to me like he's too old to bother dicking around. What a good ole chap!

Rumsfeld because he treats some members of the press corps like the babbling idiots that they are.

I would have picked Powell based on everything up to the point where he joined the Bush Jr. administration. It seems kind like he rolled over and played dead or something. It looks as if he has no power at all.

True!

Condi is a pretty amazing person, Newsweek did a good writeup on her a couple weeks ago.

I loathe Ari Fleischer. He's such a worm.

I like Donald Rumsfeld because he is a no-nonsense type of leader.
He doesn't beat around the bush, and tells like it is.

But, I really respect Colin Powell for his accomplishments. As a poor minority
he had to take a hard road to become a very successful military commander
and now a very important political figure. He is very intelligent, well versed in
international issues, and is very level headed. I would vote for him
if he decides to run for presidency. I don't think he will though.

Ms Rice...I have a similar admiration toward her as I have with Colin Powell.
I do hope she would run for presidency, I would definitely vote for her.

If you have a single purpose with no alternative, Rummy is your man to get the job done.

Colin powell would make a better president, but when it comes to press conferences, there is none better than rumsfeld and fleischer. Instead of talking around the questions, they flat out tell the reporters "We aint telling you sh*t.". About time.

You don't really think Powell's policy/approach would be as lame as Bush's do you? There's no way Powell is going to stay on another 4 years...people might start to think he's as dumb as the rest of the administration.
