Marcus Mabry, Newsweek magazine’s chief of correspondents and a former press fellow at CFR, discusses U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s legacy and future political prospects, saying “it would be very hard for her to turn down” the chance to run for president or vice president.

Mabry says the Republican strategist Charlie Black told him that: “Whoever the ’08 nominee is for Republicans, they will come knocking on Condoleezza Rice’s door.”
