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.
