[edit] About the Vote Rice Wiki

This wiki exists as part of the online campaign to convince Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to run for President of the United States in 2008.

If nominated, she would be the first woman and first African-American to serve at the top of a national party ticket for president. As a Republican, she would be the first woman and first African-American to be the nominee of the party of Abraham Lincoln. And of course, if she wins, she would be America's first woman president.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Dr. Rice would be a candidate of the people, for the people, by the people. A candidate who's good for America and good for the world.

This wiki strives to be fair, balanced and reasoned in its approach, and will feature all original content, much of it interactive. This isn't another 'cut-and-paste' site ripped from Wikipedia, though we will link there on occasion, because it does an EXCELLENT job of being an encyclopedia. But be aware: this isn't one.

Dr. Rice's new book on how to win election campaigns:

The Strategy of Campaigning Lessons from Ronald Reagan and Boris Yeltsin

Kiron K. Skinner, Serhiy Kudelia, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, and Condoleezza Rice with Foreword by George P. Shultz

[edit] Interactive pages

Wikia is unique in that it is meant to build communities. All wiki articles have "talk" pages, but these articles themselves are designed to contain discussions about topics of interest. Feel free to start an article and join right in!

• Woman president - Is America ready for a woman at the helm? Other nations have been.
• Black president - Is America ready for the first African-American on a national party ticket? Is the GOP ready?
• Can she win - Self-explanatory. Discuss here whether she actually *can* win, even if she is nominated.
• Run Condi run! - This is where you can add your encouraging comments urging Dr. Rice to jump into the race, addressed to Condi herself (hopefully, she will read them here!)
• Rice should not run - Listing the reasons why Dr. Rice should NOT run for president.

[edit] Articles

Below are just some of the original articles on this Wiki written by those who edit here:

[edit] Quote of the moment

"There is no more fundamental issue for the United States than freedom of religion and religious conscience," - Dr. Rice, commenting on the case of a 41-year old Afghan man facing charges for converting from Islam to Christianity, March 24, 2006.
