Rice would be the worst pick possible. Pro-abortion, anti-Israel and not one black voter would switch to Romney anyway. So what’s the point?

He should pick Nikki Haley or any one of the other republican conservative women governors. because there asre more of them than female dim governors.

Commencement Address at Boston College (Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Boston, Massachusetts, May 22, 2006. US Department of State)

Excerpts:

As a student of a Catholic high school, the Sisters of Loretta taught me, I am pleased to be at an institution of higher education with such strong and celebrated Catholic and Jesuit traditions . . . You see, I got my Master's Degree at Notre Dame. (Boos.) I acquired a passion for the fighting Irish . . . and my family has been college educated and Presbyterian ever since. (Laughter and applause.) . . . I wandered into a course on international politics taught by a Czech refugee who specialized in Soviet studies, a man who had a daughter by the name of Madeleine Albright. With that one class, I was hooked. I discovered that my passion was Russia and all things Russian.

And I’ve heard rumors about her personal life that, if true, could cause her big problems. I don’t know if these rumors have any merit, but you know how the left is. They’ll drag her through the mud worse than they did Clarence Thomas and Sarah Palin.

Is this speculation about Condi Rice for Veep a trial balloon by The Romney Etch-a-Sketch Harvard Team?

Or, is this just more Axelrod Obamasmoke gleefully spread by the Liberal Agenda Media?

Romney's choice for VP must be strongly pro-life, pro-second Amendment, and at least spent some time living in the South or appeal to Southerners.

With a team member who meets those qualifications, he will unite his base and probably become our next president. That is unless Obama declares an emergency or steals the election. In any event, we're in so much trouble that I'm not sure it matters who wins the election.

I hope that Romney isn’t falling into the trap of thinking that a black candidate will somehow grant him immunity from attacks; it won’t.

A small positive...at least we could accuse the left of being sexist and racist when they start their attacks.

Mitt's clearly not terribly pro-American. Neither are his followers.

He knows that they will be pleased with his choices among recent immigrant families.

Condie isn’t being considered. This is just another “story of the day” from Axelrod so no one notices Obama killed welfare reform.

St. Sarah can’t be wrong, can she???????????

Relax Ramesh. It isn’t going to be Condi.

These are like star-turns on the Oscars red carpet. This weekend is “Condi Weekend”. Next week will be another Republican (slightly more important than Condi Rice). The game continues until we get an actual announcement. Probably just before the convention.

Laughable concerns.

The veep we have is a gaff machine.

Plus, he's a plagiarist.

Obama still wins.
