She has proven to be a willing but not very capable liar. I suspect that we are in for some very embarrassing moments in the months to come.
On the other hand, her accomplishments are quite impressive and she is likely to become a role model in many respects to a great many young people in America.
I only wish she was more committed to the truth as opposed to a party.

I think America is ready for a Black President. The country has been ready. Tiger Woods made us safe and powerful at the same time. We'll still scare the dickens out of some dads, but for the most part, way over fifty percent of the electorate is ready.

As a non-American, Rice is a somewhat disturbing appointment for Secretary of State. Powell had a lot international respect. Rice - while a no doubt brilliant mind - is perhaps the reverse of Powell in this regard. Most people outside the US, I would suggest, see Rice very clearly within the neo-con framework that makes us all so uneasy. For Australia in particular, the loss of Powell is a powerful blow. Without Richard Armitage as Deputy Secretary of State, there is a good chance that Australia will have less of preferential treatment position in relation to US foreign policy as it is likely that policy will be dictated by the Pentagon, rather than the State Department, in this regard. While many of our leading politicians seem to be happy to see the back of Powell (our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are just as gung-ho and hawkish as Rumsfeld and his ilk), the long-term implications may not be beneficial for our nation.

PS: If a married woman is elected to the Presidency, what title does her husband receive? "First Lord"? "First Gentleman"? "First Guy"? "Dude #1"? "Top Bloke"?
