Mondale says Condoleezza Rice is restoring balance to the White House

[ECH1969]

Mondale is growing increasingly impressed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and believes she is steering the Bush administration toward more cooperative relations with other countries.

I think the neo-cons have lost. They're not out of there completely yet, but you don't hear much about them any more. I think Condoleezza Rice is moving away some from the old neo-con line and restoring some balance. So maybe we're moving in the right direction. I hope so.

I think Rice is heading the State Department in a sounder, safer way. The more I watch her, the more I think she knows exactly what she's doing.
