**Exclusive**

Late Thursday evening, Mitt Romney's presidential campaign launched a new fundraising drive, 'Meet The VP' -- just as Romney himself has narrowed the field of candidates to a handful, sources reveal.

And a surprise name is now near the top of the list: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!

The timing of the announcement is now set for 'coming weeks'.

as soon as the commies start attacking rice the same way they did Sarah, she will melt into a corner and hide.

good post! what the hell qualifies rice for anything? skin color?

That, and nothing else. But he won't choose her. This is just a trial balloon so they can run sentiment analysis on sites like this to gauge response.

“I think Rand Paul would be best.”

Me too.

But that will never happen.

It will be either McDonnell or Portman.

This speculation about Rice is a fundraising gimmick:

“donate $3 to be automatically entered for the chance to meet Mitt and his choice for VP in person.”

Next week the speculation will be about someone else.

People will vote with their money.

None.

Before I get out the ole flamethrower - what do you mean? She is a complete RINO.

It might get Romney 5% more of the black vote but that’s about it. A couple percent of the female vote?

Where is my barf bag....

I can see the Democrats going after her as a closet lesbian and a war criminal. Don’t think they won’t! I expect nothing less.

If this is true Romney must have some internal polls telling him it’s ok to alienate conservatives. He’s going for the rino / indy / lesser-of-two evils voters and they must be overwhelmingly anti-Obama.

Portman is much better.

Heck, Natalie Portman would be just as solid as Condi.

We’re done. Stick a fork in us. If this actually comes to fruition, I wonder how Michael Medved, the fraudulant leftist RINO who masquarades on the radio as a “conservative” will swallow this? He despised her because of her stance on Israel when she was Sec. of State.

Errrr...are we missing something here? I saw a recent interview with Condi Rice and she said absolutely no way she would accept the VP nod.

No sale. She was probably the most incompetent National Security Advisor in U.S. History, and probably the second or third most incompetent Secretary of State (after Halfbright and Hillary)

She was the one who pushed for elections in Gaza, the West Bank, and Pakistan. Brilliant! Just brilliant!

Plus, she voted for Obama.

Rice Congratulates Obama on Victory

Rice meets with Obama, then defends his administration's approach

I will withhold serious comment until this is confirmed or passes.
But on a personal level, I fell in love with Condi long time ago. And yes, I’ve heard all the rumors.
I’d start drinking again if I could share a glass of wine and pick this girl’s brains.

People should read this article from Brett Stephens of the Wall Street Journal entitled: Anyone But Condi. A tempting but unwise choice for Romney's vice president.
