Condoleezza Rice

We'd strongly praised Ms. Rice's appointment to Secretary of State last year. In an interview with Charlie Rose broadcast last night, she validated our positive view of her. Someday, perhaps she'll consider running for Presidency of the United States.

She ably represents a political-right absent bigotry which is enormously inspiring.
