Bob Novak was asked on CNN's 'Inside Politics' yesterday about Bill Kristol's prediction that President Bush will select Condoleezza Rice as his running mate for 2004.
Novak said, "I think my good friend Bill Kristol was wrong on the elections in 2002, so he's not a very good prophet. I can guarantee you Condoleezza Rice will not be on the ticket in 2004 and Hillary Clinton won't be on in 2004. 2008, my goodness, who knows what's going to happen.
" Hillary may want to run. I hope she's nominated. I think America deserves an opportunity to vote against her. Condoleezza Rice is being urged to run for the Senate against Barbara Boxer in 2004. She says absolutely not. She's not interested in politics. And I believe her."
