Richard Perle vs. Condi Rice? No worries.

Condi's in, Perle's out. Right-wingers *love* Condi.

I think the subtext of that article is that Gingrich is positioning himself to the right of Bush for a 2008 run.

Perle and the other hard-liners are the bozos who gave us the war in Iraq. The American people are not panting and throbbing with the desire to give them a second chance (probably not Gingrich, either).

Remember, when Bush was elected, his big thing was setting up free trade zones and education reform. He planned on being "the education president" and promised that the US would not be "the policeman of the world."

He got swept up into this hard-line stuff by Cheney and the other AEI (American Enterprise Institute) neocons and desk-hawks after 9/11.

He's a lot more comfortable with Condi's style, and I think most of the American people prefer it, as well.

But if the Dems run somebody to the left of Howard Dean and war breaks out with Iran -- who knows?
