WASHINGTON, April 6 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has exhibited interest in becoming John McCain's vice presidential running mate, a Republican strategist says.

Dan Senor revealed during Sunday's edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Rice has been seeking support to be considered for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket this fall.

"Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this," Senor said.

There must be something to all this...

I’m not sure if that would get me to vote for McCain or not.

Condi's been a disaster as Secretary of State. She'd be a disaster as Vice President, and even a bigger disaster as President should McCain win and then kick the bucket at some point in his administration.

NO THANKS!

She will do much less damage as a VP as opposed to SecState. Her specialty is Russia though, i think this will be helpful over the next 10 years with the Bear beginning to show its teeth again.

I can think of only two reasons why this would be. Whom among us is this supposed to fool? Oh, fool the Democrats? Riiight.

(Psst...see tagline and do the math.)

Judging from recent posts at FR, 99% here won’t vote Republican regardless.

It wouldn’t matter if Jesus Christ was running as VP.

Not if he was a Republican.

I struggle with a McCain vote, but if he chooses a conservative or even a “recent” conservative like Romney with the right views on the issues important to me, then I will vote McCain. If he chooses a moderate or someone who differs on key issues, I will either leave it blank or write in a name.

Condi Rice represents one of our greatest lost opportunities. She is lovely, accomplished, bright, disiplined. She could have said to the world, not just blacks in America, you can be anything. Drop the race anger thing. But she didn't. What a loss.

“I can’t vote for her.”

Why not?

Forget it. Rice has been a weak Secretary of State. The only reason to put her on the ticket is as a sop to a voting block that won’t vote for Republicans anyway.
