In 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton will run for President of the United Sates. “If the very thought of four—or perhaps even eight—more years of the Clintons and their predictable liberal policies alarms you; if you see right through the new Hillary brand—that easy going, smiling moderate; if you remember what a partisan, ethically challenged, left-wing ideologue she has always been, is now, and will always be, then you can see what the future holds,” Dick Morris advises.

In Dick Morris’ new book Condi vs. Hillary, we are introduced to what he calls “the next great presidential race;” an inevitable clash between America’s most prominent leading ladies: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Condoleezza Rice.

As a former political consultant to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, Dick Morris has first-hand knowledge of what the former First Lady is really like and what a Hillary Clinton presidency would mean for America. Morris’ solution for this dilemma is simple: Keep Hillary out of the White House at all costs.

The only way to accomplish this is to find a Republican presidential candidate that could give Mrs. Clinton a run for her money. According to Morris, in 2008, no ordinary white male, Republican candidate will do … if there is a Hillary, there must be a Condi.

There is no doubt that Hillary will run in 2008, and as of this moment, she is virtually uncontested for the Democratic nomination. Kerry, Edwards, Gore, and Dean are all has-beens and none of the other Democratic contenders are as popular as Hillary. Currently, more than 52 percent of all American voters support a Hillary Clinton candidacy.

With the election only two years away, Hillary is gearing up with full force; she has put on her “electable” face and is waiting for the games to begin. In order to win the presidency, Hillary knows that it is essential to hide her extreme liberalism from the public. In order to win the support of the average American, Hillary has no choice but to fake moderation.

From his insider’s perspective, Morris lets his reader in on the secrets of the Hillary Clinton’s true nature, by stating, “While she may occasionally give vent to her innate sarcasm and loud partisanship at closed events, the public Hillary will be demure, on message, and aggressively and visibly moderate. Only on the extremely rare occasions, where she is comfortably surrounded by her most liberal supporters, will the shrill attack-dog rhetoric of the real Hillary escape from behind her new, muzzled public face.” It is critical to understand, says Morris, that Hillary’s centrism is only an act, put on for the cameras in order to gain votes; as soon as she has taken the oath of office, the moderate exterior of the new President Clinton will be permanently cast aside.

The likelihood of Clinton gaining the Democratic nomination for president is quite great, which means that a viable Republican nomination would need to be greater. Like Morris says, “The first woman nominated by the Democrats can only be defeated by the first woman nominated by the Republicans.” There is one, and only one, figure in American politics who could derail another Clinton administration: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

A Condi candidacy would throw a serious ringer into Hillary’s bid for the White House. If Rice entered the race, she would appeal to many of Hillary’s core supporters; Condi would attract the same female, African American voters who back up Hillary, but she would also maintain the support of conventional Republicans. If the race is Condi vs. Hillary, this is a race that Condi can win.

The Republican Party’s other options for a presidential nominee, just don’t compare to Dr. Rice. Giuliani is too liberal, McCain is too wimpy and disloyal, and Schwarzenegger isn’t even a U.S. born citizen. All the other Republican contenders just wouldn’t make the cut in a race against Hillary.

Condoleezza Rice has never said that she will run for president, but America will draft her for the job because they need her. She will attract support without meaning to; without seeking it, she will have greatness thrust upon her. Morris predicts that, if Condi Rice became president, it would change America forever.

Morris says, “The very fact that an African-American woman could actually become president would send a powerful message to every minority child that there is no more ceiling, no more limit for black Americans in elective politics. The sky would now be the limit.”

Condoleezza Rice embodies the most profound conservative principles, stands firm on moral values, and has developed formidable leadership skills during her years in the Bush administration. All of these qualities would aid Condi tremendously in the role of President of the United States, but it’s up to the conservatives to get her there.

A race for the presidency between Clinton and Rice is conceivably inevitable. These two women are the reigning divas for America’s leading political parties, and 2008 is destined to be the year of “the next great presidential race.”

Dick Morris’s new book is full of profiles and statistics on the two main players he foresees vying for the White House in ‘08. Further, his take on the Condi vs. Hillary race is backed by firsthand knowledge about the true conservative vs. the liberal in moderate’s clothing.
