Picking Rice would have tied Romney to the Iraq War and the democrats would have made the election a referendum on neoconservative foreign policy (even though that is exactly what Obama himself practices). Smart move to stay away from Rice or any other Bush era retreads.

Romney would be a war-wonger no matter what, but I believe Rice already refused anyways, so it has been a done deal for some time.
