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'.

It was Condi who received two standing ovations at Romney's Utah retreat a few weeks ago, and everyone left with her name on their lips.
Rice made an extended argument for American leadership in the world.

I like Condi but I think Romney would be better off with a Hispanic VP if he wants to win the presidency.
Are you freakin kiddin me??????? If he picks her willard is done for.......
Two RINO’s for the price of one...
Maybe the media will think Romney's choice is cool. But, aside from that, Rice does nothing for the ticket.
It’s really simple. He’s not going to pretend to be something that he’s not by throwing us a VP bone.
He’s a governor; he needs someone with national security experience. That’s why Gov Bush picked Cheney and McCain picked Gov Palin.
Condi is pro choice. That is a big problem, especially for Romney.
I guess anything is possible, but only a few weeks ago Condi gave one of the most definite “not interesteds” of any VP possibility in recent memory. Maybe she’s having second thoughts, or maybe some reporters are creating a story.
But she’s a possibility whose stances on many issues we probably don’t know.
I can live with that.
I will not listen to the media about this until Mittens announces it himself. It’s thus kind of media speculation that makes or breaks an election.
Florida 2000 anyone?
But FWIW ... if he wants to lose this November, Condi’s a good choice.
Oh great, two RINOS.
Net negative for the ticket. She’d bring zero black or other minority votes, fail to inspire conservatives, and remind everybody else of W. What are they thinking?
I am surprised Condi would consider being on Romney's ticket but if she agrees to it, it would definitely make a lot of Democrat heads explode because the race card and the "war on women" factors will be taken away from them.
Plus, Condi debating Biden - I think about 100 IQ points separate them.
yes it is true...rice the obama lover is the top choice of rino romney! Unbelievable! The bushies get their broad into the white house. Give me a freakin break! romney just left the naalcp convention and sucked up to some of them by naming rice. Rice the commie lover also got an ovation in utah among the bush clowns. This sucks big time.
Why hispanic???? 99% of the hispanic’s are illegal!!!! and can’t vote
Thanks kristinn. John Bolton?
“I guess anything is possible, but only a few weeks ago Condi gave one of the most definite “not interesteds” of any VP possibility in recent memory.”
That’s what they all say until they are actually picked.
Drudge doesn’t no nuth’n.
Or he’s being used to spread disinformation.
