WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Condoleezza Rice on Sunday said she was flattered by speculation she could be the next U.S. president but stressed she had no interest in a White House run.
"It's flattering and I appreciate people who think of me in those terms, but that's not what I'm going to do in life," the U.S. Secretary of State told Fox News Sunday.
"I'm quite certain that there are going to be really fine candidates for president from our party and I'm looking forward to seeing them and supporting them."
Web sites including AmericansForRice.com and Rice2008.com are encouraging Rice to seek the Republican nomination for the White House in 2008, and one group has aired television ads touting her during "Commander in Chief," a show about a female president.
Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Rice was resolute about her intentions.
"I don't know how many ways to say no. I'm not somebody who wants to run for office," she said. "I have no interest in being a candidate for anything.
