NewsMax Poll: Condi Best GOP Choice for 2008

Almost half the voters in a NewsMax Internet poll believe Condoleezza Rice should be the Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election.

Just under 45 percent of respondents voted "Yes" to the question: "Do you believe Condi is the best candidate the Republicans could nominate?"

When Rice was matched against five other potential GOP candidates, the results were:

Condi Rice 35 percent
Rudy Giuliani 21 percent
John McCain 13 percent
George Allen 10 percent
Jeb Bush 6 percent
Mitt Romney 4 percent
Also in the poll, a whopping 91 percent of voters said they believe Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2008.

But when asked who they would vote for in a Hillary vs. Condi race, respondents - who numbered well over 150,000 - overwhelmingly chose Rice, 89 percent to Hillary's 11 percent.

Condi has maintained that she has no interest in running for president, saying it is not "what I want to do with my life."

But political pundit Dick Morris told NewsMax: "Unlike in dating, ?no' doesn't always mean ?no' in politics."

Morris, whose new book "Condi vs. Hillary" makes the case for a Rice presidential campaign in 2008, said: "The real question is would she refuse to run if million of Americans cast votes for her and she appeared to be on the way to winning the nomination?

"I believe Condi will do her duty."
