Rice Fans Promote Condi For President At GOP Debate
There were 10 Republican presidential candidates on the stage at Tuesday night’s GOP presidential debate in Columbia, S.C., but outside the debate site there was a demonstration promoting an 11th possible candidate.
No, not Fred Thompson. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The “Condi Mobile,” driven by Ohioan Richard Holt, was parked across the street from the entrance of the Koger Center for the Arts, the site of the presidential debate. The RV is decorated with “Condi ‘08” signs.
The movement for Rice to enter the GOP contest “has some steam,” Holt said. Holt heads an Internet-based organization called ThinkCondi.net. He is trying to get the secretary of state into the Republican presidential race even though she has said she is not interested.
