Synopsis
Though no longer a full-fledged "friend," political commentator Dick Morris is considered something of an expert on Hillary Clinton, having worked as an advisor to Bill Clinton and written several books on both Hillary and Bill, including REWRITING HISTORY. In CONDI VS. HILLARY, Morris and Eileen McGann assume that Senator Clinton will run for the presidency in 2008. From there they consider the possibility that Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will be drafted by the Republicans, especially since there is no apparent political heir to George W. Bush. From there, they extrapolate the odds and present scenarios that might occur in a Condi-Hillary matchup. Like sportscasters comparing the stats on two boxers (arm length, etc.), Morris and McGann provide a comparative assessment of each of the candidates' strengths and weaknesses. Intelligent, skilled, and with records to run on, Clinton and Rice would shake up the political landscape, and something in their personalities suggest it would be a real cat fight. If 2008 is the year that America elects a female president, this book may prove to have been prescient., Who will be president in 2008? Many believe that the White House is Hillary Clinton's to lose. As long-time strategists Morris and McGann reveal in this book, however, Hillary's plans are vulnerable to a challenge from 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 prove one of the most fascinating and important races in American history. Blending insider insight and political foresight, this book 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.--From publisher description.
