Majority of white Americans will never be ready to accept an African American as their president.

You underestimate the White Christian Conservative`s deep roots. I believe that many consdier Condaleza Rice as a puppet. She has the credentials to qualify but she is no shark like Hillary. The White Conservative will not vote for any black; male or female. Their deep rooted prejudice is very strong so Condi has 3 things going against her. 1) Puppet 2) Woman 3) Black
I believe that an unknown male conservative will rise to take the nomination. The Republican party can`t reveal him yet. They must save him from attacks and a Democrat strategy.
The Deomocrats cannot afford to lose again. I`m not sure Hillary will be the answer. Don`t forget that Barack O`Bama is being groomed for the top spot. Condi vs Hillary is a great theme to sell magazines but its not very realistic.

Ok, ok … enough of this intellectual stuff … here’s my take on this ….
… if it comes down to two female candidates for presidency … it should be settled in a mud-wrestling match, in bikinis, oil, wet t-shirts … the whole nine yards. It should be held in trump plaza in vegas and broadcasted live to every tv between nevada and iraq, and beyond.
On the second thought … judging from their appearance, this may not be a such a good idea after all (unless we can get nicole kidman on the ticket). So lets stick to the electoral college route for now … saving the beer and nachos for the next time tyson bites off someone’s ear … if not his genitals …

Main problem with Condi is that she is un-married and has not raised childred. Hillary wins pants down on this count.

Naqsh.. Barrak Obama is not a black female. I am very certain about that.

I`d vote for a Black woman if I was American --even though I`m not a Republican! How about Barrak Obama for the Democrats?

Hillary is too `masoon, masoon`. Her antics during 911 will come back to haunt her.
Rice is for show. A minority black woman - just like a company hires 24 Mexican janitors and claim to be EOE.
Neither are president material - they are called `bit ches` by many. I guess, if you run with the dogs, you have to be one.

Gill Sahib, whose Gods do you think are not angry with either one of these chicks? I think you should stick to your science and leave the brainy stuff to alert people.

Condaleeza Rice is too much an academic and never forgotten her background , pain and suffering of the blacks in US history and will not compromise certain ethical values to Neo-Cons and that section of hypocritical white America. wheras Hilary is political animal and will not hesitate to make compromise. Remember her parents were strong republicans and these values do rub on children at their formative years. She is no-nonsense woman.
So Hilary has the upperhand.

I like Hillary. Despite all her challenges, she has the tenacity and passion to cope with anything. All the more reason, you would like someone who has the character to survive.
Condi Rice is no doubt a very capable woman but we have not seen her long enough in her current role. In politics, a clean past does not guarantee a clean and clear future.
Interestingly, most of my white american friends and acquaintances are not pro-Hillary. One Italian acquaintance very vehemently remarked, ``There is something very strange about her. She does not give you a look of a woman any more. She is trying to emulate men.``
Me: What if she is in a role that demands a lot out of her and that is her way of coping with it?
She: I remember Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a highly well regarded first lady. She never let go of her femininity.
Me: I do not think that Hillary has to prove her femininity in the roles she has been put into. She was the 1st lady, but that was it. She is an attorney by background and a very hardworking and bright woman. Obviously, at her role and position, it`s unfair to have expectations like, can she cook a pumpkin pie? Or is she motherly toward Chelsea?
In short, we ended up with completely different perspectives with no compromise.

`` What choices do the Republicans have to stop Hillary Clinton in her tracks? According to Morris, “..in 2008, no ordinary white male Republican candidate will do: Frist, Pataki, and George Allen…can’t win (Bill Frist is already embroiled in trouble; he has been indicted for some shady business in stocks); Giuliani and McCain are too far to the left to be nominated; Jeb Bush and Dick Cheney have too much baggage; and the foreign-born Arnold Schwarzenegger can’t run. That leaves only Condi Rice, making it certain that the first female president will be sworn in on January 20, 2009 – and making 2008 the election of the century.” Dick Morris has written a book on this topic which he called “Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race.” His wife Eileen McGann is the co-author. ``
Dick Morris is a political consultant. The guy will say and do anything for money. Both Condi and Hillary are untested candidates.

Condaleeza can count upon my vote.
She is brilliant and a person with character and will get republicans and black votes. I do not believe any male republican candidate can beat Hillary. The country is ready for a female commander-in-chief.
