#2 Condi should clean house like Goss is doing. Kick out every friggin one of the Clintonistas and bring in some fresh blood. I bet she sails through the lame duck Senate.

#3 Oh murgatroyd! Can you imagine what would happen if Dick Cheney decided to resign "for health reasons", say about 1.5 years before the end of his term, and Condi was made VP? To say that "hilarity would ensue" would be an understatement. I bet nearly every democrat would vote against her, then spend the next year trying to force everybody to rationalize their vote away.

#4 Lay down a couple of rules, fast. No more sub rosa dissing of the Bush admin and winking to European counterparts about what a madman/idiot/zealot Bush is. No more leaks and stunts with Vanity Fair or the NYT.

And any Europe- or mideast-based senior Foreign Service staffer who will not begin to speak up for and publicly champion the admin's policies will be reassigned to sub-saharan Africa or the Andes.

#7 Her specialty was the Soviet Union. W/Russia's recent flirtation w/Europe,wonder if she is meant to signal a new approach to Russia.
