Yesterday, Glenn Kessler in his Washington Post article, entitled “Rice’s pre-election appearances buck tradition — Secretary of State is expected to stay above the partisan fray,” reported on Condi’s pre-election activity with a rather critical tone. While Dr. Rice has largely avoided the megabuck politcal fundraising circuit with its infamous “rubber chicken” and photo [...]

Ben Cardin, the Democrats’ $4 million man (and that’s just the primary)

In an example of Party discipline that would have made Stalin’s commissars proud, the Maryland Democratic machine recruited and nominated Congressman Ben Cardin to defeat Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and past president of the NAACP, who - in the opinion of many political [...]

What are the correct terms for homosexual couples and their family members? Somebody tell us. I, and perhaps you, have struggled with this one for a long time. I am so behind the times that I still struggle with how to refer to unmarried heterosexual couples, much less gay ones. (See side bar) In an [...]

The confrontation between the Clintons and Condi that erupted after Bill’s interview with Chris Wallace on September 24th was (is?) based on the claim, by Clinton, that he left behind a “comprehensive plan” on counter terrorism for the Bush administration when he left office. In making his point he relied heavily on Richard Clarke, author [...]

It is disturbing to see criticism of Dr. Rice in the conservative blogosphere after her recent keynote address to the American Task Force on Palestine gala in Washington, DC, October 11, 2006. The dinner was held to honor a Republican Arab-American, (Blog editor’s note: Please accept our appologies for using a “hyphenated American” [...]

For those of us that are “Fox Fans,” we are used to the informal banter that goes on during Fox and Friends in the morning. Today, in a segue to the Sandy Berger investigation story, the morning crew began doing impersonations of the former Clinton official. During the segment, Condi — and her [...]

November 14th is a very special day: the birthday of Condoleezza Rice. We at Americans for Dr. Rice would like to make it one to remember.
Condi was born in Birmingham, Alabama during the segregation era. She had to endure domestic terrorism as a child : church bombs, Klan attacks, and police brutality. She persevered [...]

We are featured in a news story today on the ABC News website. It talks about our movement and the possibility of Condi running for President. My favorite part of the article talks about how Condi is being groomed to become a possible contender for 2008.

Producer Linda Ellman (Linda Ellman Productions) was concerned that her documentary, On Native Soil, would be overshadowed by other 9-11 related programming for the 5th Anniversary of the terrorist attack that changed America even though she was able to get Kevin Costner and Hilary Swank to narrate.  (Swank spells her first name with only one “L.”).  [...]

Right, or wrong, celebrities play a large role in our nation’s political life.  It’s a point that shouldn’t be lost on us and our efforts.
It took Cher to turn the issue of better combat helmets into a newsworthy item.  And she was more successful than all of our generals, wounded veterans, etc.  (MSNBC, ABC)  Dr. Rice, being something of [...]

The stakes for the 2006 election are huge. And it is incumbent upon all of us to make sure that when “Secretary Rice” becomes “President Rice” that she’ll be in a position to govern effectively. If control of the Senate or the House is lost in 2006, her position will be weakened considerably.

Condoleezza Rice has an interview in this month’s Essence magazine. I will warn you, only the first part of the interview is available free on the website. You have to actually buy the magazine to get the complete interview. They ask a lot of the tough questions, but Condi answers with confidence and intelligence as [...]

She is, to almost all Republicans, the “800-pound gorilla,” in the 2008 election. (This is not a reference to her any of her physical characteristics.) However, Americans for Dr. Rice has been very careful not to follow Dick Morris’ lead and make the next presidential contest a strictly “Condi vs. Hillary” affair. The possibility of [...]

It is always interesting to read the different headlines that newspapers, and other media outlets, put on the same syndicated articles. A wonderful example of this, is Julie Carr Smyth’s July 4, 2006, Associated Press article. The most common title was “Condistas want Rice for President in 2008.” The San Jose Mercury News, entitled the [...]
