Didn’t see it as I never watch TV news - I’ll take her senior moment over Barry Soetoro’s treason any day

Truth be known, I don’t favor any woman in the VP slot. Along with that, I don’t favor any girlie man either.

“Condi would be the anti-Palin.

In 2008 Sarah Palin pulled in enough conservative voters to prevent an Obama landslide.

In 2012 Condi would repulse enough conservative voters to give Obama a landslide.”
***************************************************************
You’ve captured the situation VERY nicely. Condi Rice would be a COMPLETE disaster as the Republican VP nominee. Please Lord, save us from idiotic decisions.

My vote is for Paul Ryan or Col. Allen West.

But of course. I was not implying she was mentally impaired on account of a moment's befuddlement, just that it would be used against her.

“Ms. Rice will be a great VP. She will outsmart whoever happens to be sitting across the table from her. She will charm the press and the world.”

Even assuming your first two statements are correct, she will never charm the press, and also consider that “the world” was charmed by Hussein.

I humbly submit that the press wasn’t kind to her during her previous association with the White House, so there is no reason to believe they will be charmed with her in 2013.

The “charmed” press 7 years ago....

Others here aren’t so charmed.

Definitely the Dims’ dream VP who supports abortion.

Dims/Big Media gave us MR.
Now they’re giving us CR.

“In the 1970s, Condoleezza Rice dated and was briefly engaged to American football player Rick Upchurch.”

If you get to the core reason of why we are on the brink of disaster it can be summed up as Political Correctness.

That is why and how Barack Obama was elected president.

That is why democrats and republicans alike have poured trillions down the rat hole known as The War On Poverty. Yet we now have more poverty than when it started.

And that is why a proven incompetent like Condi Rice is even mentioned as a VP Candidate.

There must be at least ten thousand other academics with qualifications equal to Condi - so what sets her apart?

There are thousands of other academics, like Condi, who have been utter failures in lofty government positions - so what sets her apart?

If she had white skin and male plumbing no one outside her immediate circle would have ever heard of her.

If America doesn't get its collective head out of its collective butt soon, there won't be anything left of the America that was handed down to us from our forefathers.

Hell I wish we could keep Biden. He’s a true gift.

She also voted for Obama based on race.
