I figure "security moms" may be partially to blame here. Upper-middle class, suburban married women in their 30's and 40's with children living at home who are conscious of the threats posed by terrorists or other foreign nations. They may like Rice because like themselves, she's a woman, and she is strong on national security issues that they care about.
Looking around the world, it does look more unstable than it did at the end of Bush's second term. Europe is on the verge of an economic crash and the situation in the Middle East remains "highly fluid" to say the very best. Maybe there is something to running a competent campaign on national security/foreign affairs issues this election cycle.
