#1 Gov of CA. NIce, but...

Dem assembly and the fruit-nut types will be out in droves to ruin her.

How about another state? One she has a prior relationship with? Maybe the one she went to school in?

That would be Colorado if she wants to move back to her Denver University roots.

Colorado is probably better - a more manageable campaign, and the Republicans will be making a big push in the state legislature. Plus its a fairly Republican state with a libertarian streak from what I can tell. And she could build up her governing skills away from the liberal MSM that focuses on the coasts and the cities near there, completely ignoring the Rocky Mountain region.

#4 OS, if she can manage Caliphornia, she can manage anything.

Consider that Ahnuld will have tenderized the Democrats by then. Redrawing distirct lines should make incumbents less secure, hence less extreme, hence readier to work with a popular governor like Ahnuld or Condi. The Republican party needs leadership to get back on its feet in the Golden State. It should not be a blue state lock. Ahnuld is doing his best, but if he doesn't have a successor, he'll be a one hit wonder.

If Ahnold blew one of the Bobsey Twins out of the Senate and Condi were in Sacramento there would be a chance to build a state wide GOP that included more than Orange County Rock Ribbed Reconstructed Birchers. The GOP needs a better bench than Lungren and Jones. I like McClintock, but he's not going to fly statewide. Condi will also do well appealing to minorities in a state where even whites are a minority. Those are the folks we need to get in the party.

Unfortunately there's a big bunch of coastal types in Denver-Boulder. That's one reason Owens' star is no longer in the ascendent. He caved into too much tax and spend once he got comfortable in office.

Caliphornia may not be the easiest row to hoe, but no pain, no gain. Condi would be good for the Bear Flag Republic and Califphornia would be good for Condi.

#5 Also, you can be selected Vice-President AFTER the convention if need be.

#6 I take her at her word. "No" means "no."

I think she does not want to campaign for office, any office. While she might well be a very good president, if she doesn't want the job, she might not perform well at it.
