WI Condoleeza Rice elected POTUS?

First, have Jesse Jackson nommed as the Dem leadership in 1988, but lose the election. This would encourage the african-american communities to get into politics. Maybe have Colin Powell run for Senator in 1994 as part of the "republican revolution", eventually, Condoleeza would run for President in 2000 and win.
 
A 2008 Run, have her run before Obama, and butterfly all of the "Secret" work she is doing. If she runs before Obama, Obama will be seen as a "male knockoff". She would be a double whammy, being somewhat centrist, a woman, and African-American (Sorry, Triple Whammy)

Quadruple whammy, as she is also a Republican. And if some of the hotter rumours I've read are true, she'd also be the first gay (lesbian) president.
 
That would be like saying...that George W Bush is a CT president

He is. He didn't come to Texas til his late teens. The cowboy bit is an obvious pose, along with that Potemkin-ranch that he bought for his photo opportunities and sold before he even left the presidency. The guy is actually afraid of horses and his accent comes and goes.

While all real Texans have cowboy accents and love riding horses?

EDIT: Since that's a bit OT, I'd like to suggest that Condoleeza Rice would be an interesting vice-presidential pick for George W. Bush in 2004 if he wanted someone to replace Cheney: then Rice would be seen as the chosen successor in the Republican primary in the next election cycle. Now you just need to throw lots of luck her way in order to get her to win in 2008. :p

THat does seem to be the obvious route. Just have Cheney's health be a little worse to convince him that he needs to retire.

A little improbable, but not by much to imagine Rice as replacement VP.

Let Hillary get the Dem nod and it becomes much harder to use Iraq or the WoT against Rice since Hillary voted for all of that.

Let Edwards get the VP slot then get caught with his mistress/baby mamma!:eek:

THrough in some ham handed racial bitching as pre OTL with the Clintons, and let Rice actually make some significant inroads into the Black vote (say 25%?)

And BOOM THERE YOU ARE!:D

Hmmm, who would be a good pick for Rice's VP?

Actually George H W Bush moved to Texas with his family in 1948 when Dubya was 2 years old. He went to grade school in Midland.
