Some pundits have characterized the new ABC-TV series "Commander in
Chief" as a thinly veiled promo for a Hillary Clinton presidential
campaign. But one group is using the show to plug another possible
female candidate - Condoleezza Rice.
Americans for Rice, which is dedicated to drafting the Secretary of
State to run for the White House in 2008, bought TV air time in New
Hampshire - the critical primary state - during the premiere of the
drama, which stars Geena Davis as the first female American president.
The organization's co-chairman Richard Mason said the program would
help in the "mainstreaming of the idea of having a female commander in
chief," according to the New York Post.
Rice has denied an interest in running for president, but polls of
Republicans show significant support for her candidacy.
NewsMax columnist James Hirsen has called "Commander in Chief" a
"series-style Hillary campaign commercial."
But it might take more than a TV show to convince voters that Clinton
is presidential material. A mid-July USA Today story headlined "Can
Hillary Be Elected Commander in Chief?" reported that 60 percent of
respondents in a poll believed she's not strong on national security.
