Rice was not the problem, it was who nominated her.
I've heard or read that Bayh's vote against Rice was the result of Hillary's recent public appearances and pronouncements...in other words, it had less to do with a Bush appointment than it did with positioning himself for future success; representing the "Democratic wing" of the party and all that rot.
I tend to agree with Jim that Rice is not an attractive candidate, at least in 2008.
