Are Condi and Hillary about to join the 2012 race? Rivals tipped to run for VP

Michele Bachmann may be the only woman officially in the presidential 2012 race, but that may not be the case for long.

Speculation is mounting that one former and the current female secretaries of state- Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton- will inject some estrogen into the race, though in different positions.

Conservative columnist Joseph Curl wrote today that Mrs Rice could provide a much needed addition to the Republican race, strongly suggesting that she is the silver bullet for the vice presidential slot.

This comes amid reports that an anonymous group has arranged robocalls pushing Hillary Clinton as a spoiler democratic nominee.

Neither of these notions are new, as Ms Rice and Mrs Clinton are well liked on their respective sides of the aisle, but it certainly seems more realistic than ever due to their recent public moves.

Ms Rice served as President George W Bush's Secretary of State from 2005 until Mrs Clinton took over in 2009. Since her departure, she has been working as a professor at Stanford University and released a book, No Higher Honor, in late October.

In promoting her book, Ms Rice put herself back on the public's radar, gamefully appearing on talk shows and making her years of service fresh in the collectives minds....

For the Democrats, yes.

Either way, whether it be under Mitt or under Hilary, assuming Obama resigns, she’d be good for the Dems.

Yes but Obama seems pretty set on keeping Biden and I doubt Hillary would choose her.

Exactly @napscoordinator, picking Hillary as VP would ensure the election for Obama and that is exactly why he would dump Biden for her. Obama only cares about being re-elected. If Clinton still holds her aspirations to be President, I can't see her turning this down even with all the problems she has with Obama.

2012 is looking more catastrophic by the day...

So, how long has Curl known how to read?

Not interested in any one or thing associated with Bush’s compassionate conservatism.
That “compassionate conservatism was short for mostly liberal horse pooh.

Last I heard, Rice was pro-choice. I wouldn’t vote for her if Dick Cheney himself endorsed her!

Let me remind folks of this...Condi was asked what her position was on abortion, she said...I quote “I am mildly pro choice”

Case closed

She’s already said she is leaving the state department at the end of Mr. Obama’s first term.
Hmmm.... was not aware of that. Thanks for the info, but, that's kinda scary.
