Politico ^ | April 19.2012 | Darius Dixon

Republicans are increasingly falling in behind Mitt Romney's White House run, but they haven't got a clue who he should add to the ticket, a CNN/ORC International survey says.

Condoleezza Rice tops the vice presidential wish list among Republicans and right-leaning independents, according to the poll Wednesday. Twenty-six percent of those polled backed the former national security adviser and secretary of state under George W. Bush as Romney's No. 2.

Romney-Rice vs. Obama-Biden (or even Obama-Hillary)-- that would surely be interesting.

I have no idea whether Condi is conservative. Her foreign policy expertise is unquestionable ... though, apparently, she and Dick Cheney butted heads quite a bit. She’s been largely silent on domestic issues, as a far as I know.

VP polls this early are mostly just name-recognition contests.

Black lesbian left-winger as the GOP VP choice?

Doesn't work for me.

If that's the "choice", I'm voting for Goode-Clymer. (and if any freeper is going to whine that doing so will cause Obama to win, I live in Illinois. If you think this state's electoral votes will go to Romney, I have a bridge to sell you). Romney is bad enough, I don't want a running mate who's even MORE liberal.

Really? I question her foreign policy expertise and believe she was in over her head as Secretary of State, and did a lousy job. Her record on Mexico and Israel was awful and ended in failure. Perhaps she'd make a good Ambassador to Russia, if only Bush had given her that post instead...

Had to be said and you beat me to it - Condi should stay with her gal pals at Stanford, the ones with short hair and sturdy shoes.

Two pro-abortionists against two pro-abortionists.

Obviously time to call in the Thundering Evangelists to beat somebody down over this one.

Pull black voters? No. Won’t happen.

Key state? No. Rubio helps with hispancs and Florida.

Women? Perhaps. But I doubt it really closes the gender gap in VP position.

Better to pick a VP that guarantees major swing state and helps with Hispanics. Seems like Rubio to me.

I am tellin' ya... A dark horse candidate is going to be able to harness the Christian Right. That can be something close to a third of all voters... If everything aligns, and I am hoping YHWH grants it, conservatives could really get a win with a 3rd party this time.

Just a Second Party. The Republican party ~ at the top ~ has been taken over by a coup mounted by a fringe of marginally employed campaign professionals.

They imagine they can continue to get work ghost writing books and commenting if they can control the Presidential candidate.

That happened to the Democrats a bit earlier, but it's the same problem.

These fringe groups need to be RETURNED TO THE FRINGE. It's time for the PEOPLE to move in and take over their own processes.
