Now Dick Morris is joining the call to convince Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to run for President.

The title of his editorial, “To stop Hillary, draft Condi”, is annoying; Rice should be drafted because she is qualified, not to stop someone else. Running a campaign against another opponent is part of why Kerry lost, in my opinion. But Morris has it on the head right here:

A real presidential draft movement hasn’t happened since 1952, when Republicans urged Eisenhower to get into the race. A draft-Condi movement seems almost antiquated in this era of ambitious and self-promoting candidates, but it may well fill a deep need in the electorate to vote for someone who is running in response to a genuine call of the people.
