Condoleeza Rice lost a lot of her luster with me when she commended Obama for making Hillary Sec. of State. Also, she never had a husband or children and that could hurt her in presidential politics. When was last time we had a president who never married? I think we need to go back to James Buchanan.
Condi Rice is pro-choice. She is an academic who has never held elective office or done anything worth mentioning in the private sector. Despite her negatives there is a fair amount to like about Condi, but not enough to make her an attractive VP candidate.
