Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Who will be president in 2008? Many believe that the White House is Hillary Clinton's to lose. As long-time strategists Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal in Condi vs. Hillary, however, Hillary's plans for higher office are vulnerable to a challenge from a most unexpected quarter: the Bush administration's secretary of state and former national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice.



Rice is the only figure on the national scene who has the credentials, the credibility, and the charisma to lead the GOP in 2008. And, as this first book on the subject demonstrates, a race between these two commanding, but very different, women is a very real possibility -- and would inevitably prove one of the most fascinating and important races in American history.



Blending insider insight and political foresight, Condi vs. Hillary surveys the strengths and weaknesses of the two candidates, finding persuasive clues about what we might expect from each of them as a chief executive. It traces their very different childhoods -- Hillary Rodham's in unchallenging suburban comfort, Condi Rice's in Birmingham, Alabama, during the civil rights era -- and finds in each the roots of their latter-day selves. It explores their career in public life -- Hillary's as an ambitious liberal who attached herself to a governor on the rise, Condi's as a woman of broad and deep talents who has earned her own way. It turns a discerning eye on how each has spent her time in government, contrasting Condi's growth and maturation in office with Hillary's record of underachievement as both first lady and senator from New York. And it reveals how a draft-Condi movement could sweep the secretary of state into the presidency even as she forgoes campaigning to address her responsibilities as secretary of state.



America, in short, may be on the verge of a perfect storm of twenty-first-century politics, pitting two of America's most popular -- and controversial -- women against each other, and offering Americans a choice between fulfilling the ambitions of one of our most polarizing figures . . . or changing history by electing not just the first woman, but also the first African American woman, to lead the free world into the future.






Rating: - Dick Morris is no Great Prognosticator
I recently saw this book in the 50-cent bin at a bargain bookstore, where it belongs. How sad. Hillary Clinton didn't win the Democratic nomination. Condoleezza Rice didn't even seek, let alone win the Republican nomination. Two MEN named Barack Obama and John McCain ran against each other and Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States. Thanks Carnac the Magnificent! Gee, I can't wait for Morris' next great political prophecy.

Rating: - History has again proven Dick Morris correct!
Anyone who has been paying attention to the 2008 election will gaze in awe at Dick Morris's amazing prescience. Indeed, the race between Hilary Clinton and Condi Rice riveted America. And only a woman of Condi's intellectual depth and personal integrity could save us from Hilary Clinton and become America's first Black president.

Rating: - What a great predictor of the future Morris is - NOT!
Well, Morris hopefully feels egg on his face now... he was 100% off the mark in his predictions as to who the two major candidates would be.

Rating: - This book is a joke!
This is proof positive that anyone can write a book. Mr. Morris' analytical skills are on par with those of Inspector Clouseau. Highly recommended it you what to have a good laugh. Otherwise not so much.

Rating: - Condi vs ?
My interpretation of this read is that in the author's opinion it is Condi hands down. His support of Condi came shining through. I had hoped the book would offer more thought provoking points as to why this would be "The Next Great Presidential Race." I think a more appropriate title would have been " Condi, The Next Great President"
