Not So Much Of An Endorsement

For the way the Republicans rally behind Condi, this less than glowing endorsement has to put them in a peculiar spot:

In a less-than-hearty endorsement, Rice declined to say anything more positive about Palin than "she gave a terrific speech" and "she's a governor of a state here in the United States" during her interview with Zain Verjee of CNN.

So that's all Condi can say about Sarah? If Condi isn't coming out with a glowing endorsement like so many neo-cons, it makes you wonder what Condi really knows. People always polish things up for interviews, so I got a feeling Condi actually thinks much less of her.
