JC for VP

WASHINGTON, April 6 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has exhibited interest in becoming John McCain's vice presidential running mate, a Republican strategist says.
Dan Senor revealed during Sunday's edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Rice has been seeking support to be considered for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket this fall.
"Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this," Senor said.
The party strategist said Rice could represent an ideal vice presidential candidate when paired with the Arizona senator, who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
"What the McCain campaign has to consider is whether or not they want to pick a total outsider, a fresh face, someone a lot younger than him, a governor who people aren't that familiar with," Senor said. "The challenge they're realizing is that they'll have to have to spend 30-45 days, which they won't have at that point, educating the American public about who this person is.
"The other category is someone who people instantly say, the second they see that announcement, I get it, that person could be president tomorrow. Condi Rice is an option."
that said, no thanks condi, please go find something else to do and stop bothering people with this nonsense.
Please, no!
Superbly qualified and an instant rebuttal to Hillary as Obama’s VP, or vice versa.
A good choice.
Bad idea!
I would like to see someone else for VP, but one thing is Absolutely Certain: McCain-Condi would make it impossible for any Demodog to win for the next 12 years.
If Rice is on the ticket I will not vote. I’ve been about to blow chunks since McCain has become the unofficial standard bearer and I had resigned myself however reluctantly to voting for him, but no Rice.
I like Rice for VP, though I would prefer Lynne Cheney.
That said, we could do a lot worse than Condi. At least she’s smart and not sleazy.
Wouldn’t be prudent. I love Condi. She is too liberal on the social issues.
Oy!
Interesting....but JC is a better choice. (Steve Largent was a better football player)

She doesn’t need to go there.
What an awful idea!!!
JC for VP
McCain/Rice = foreign aid extravaganza.
Michael Steele would be a great choice.
“no thanks condi”
Yes please go away. Tomorrow would be soon enough for me.
Condi has been taped a couple of dozen times saying she never wants to be president. Ever.
They will trot this recordings out if she joins the ticket.
It won’t be pretty.
However, I remember when there were many on this forum in her fan club.
How times have changes.
Can’t be true. She wants to be NFL commissioner but doesn’t have a desire to seek elected office.
If she truly is considering it, I say NO to CONDI. She likes the little game called “Palestine Poker” too much. Always stacks the decks against Israel.
Do they think we’ll vote for McCain because in VP Condi he has the equivalent of Rock over Scissors and Paper? (Black female over female and semi-Black)
Good Lord, if there wasn’t enough reasons not to vote for McCain... this one takes the cake.
I’d rather vote for a diseased slime-mold than any ticket with her on it.
Rice on the ticket would bust this 'race dialog' wide open.
Remember how the left treated her when she was named Sec State?
Remember those disgusting cartoons?
Rice on the ticket would tie the left into a Gordian knot of unprecedented proportions.
I'm down with that struggle..............
