She’d be a great VP. For the Dems.
2008 Obama voter Rice, who later refused to say how she voted, revealed herself in her first public statements after Obama's 2008 election. Before she could formalize her "diplomatic" cover in refusals to answer and feigned neutrality, Rice exposed herself as another GOP fraud in her following first response :
YOUTUBE 11/05/2008 RICE STATEMENT ON OBAMA VICTORY (LINK):
"President elect Obama was inspirational and I'm certain he will continue to be."I transcribed her statement accurately but it is still CRITICAL that you view her demeanor, to make a judgement. This was the day after the election before she could sublimate her emotions beneath the cover of a more neutral and diplomatically flat response, as in the following."...this country... continues to surprise, it continues to renew itself, it continues to beat all odds and expectations. You just know that Americans are not going to be satisfied until they really do form that perfect union and while the perfect union may never be in sight, we keep working at it and trying. And I just want to close on a personal note, as an African-Americam, I'm especially proud."
12/28/2008 CBS INTERVIEW (LINK) * Note: CBS is now misdating this interview, but "that leaves office 23 days from now" in the introduction proves the earlier 12/28/2008 date. *
"There is a widely held belief in Washington, anyway, that you voted for Barack Obama," Braver said.Why call Obama's election a step toward a more "perfect union?""And as secretary of state, I'm going to keep my partisan or non-partisan views to myself on that," Rice said. "But I think all Americans were taken with the fact that we were able, after the long history that we've been through, that initial birth defect of slavery that we elected an African American."
What does the exuberance of her response and her unrestrainable smile tell you?
If the Obama's election made her "especially proud", do you think she went into the voting both and did pulled the lever to NOT become "especially proud" and NOT to "work" and "try" for a more "perfect union?"
I agree. Condi I am sure is a great person. But not the right person for VP, imho. Her government experience is not all that sterling.
Most of us loved Colin Powell...until we got to know him. I hope race has no place in Romney’s choice of running mate. A good running mate is the only thing that will get me to vote for his RINO butt.
I also think that there are other jobs she’d rather have in a Romney administration than sitting around in a mansion at the Naval Observatory waiting for Romney to choke on a pretzel.
The poll appearing on Drudge today has her as the preferred choice by 65% of those participating. Let’s hope that this is all just a publicity stunt.
On top of everything else mentioned here, she was strongly and openly pro-abortion. We don’t need TWO baby killers on the GOP ticket.
This is affirmative action at its worst. Romney wants someone who is black and a woman. Never mind that it won’t take a single black vote away from Obama, and probably not many women, either. The GOP has got to be politically correct, even if it hurts them.
My most memorable memory is when she is doing this press conference for Reason A, only in the middle of it to blurt out that they caught the bad guys that were probing Obama’s State Dept. records. This was most likely the real reason she was doing the press conference. She was queuing to stay on as Secy of State for Obama. The travel perks are great and you get to say and do things like you’re the US President anyway.
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.
I seem to recall that Condition is pro-abortion. Is my memory playing tricks? If so, Romney should choose someone pro-life since he is wobbly on abortion.

What, she wouldn’t look good at foreign funerals?
Via twitter:
@robertcostaNRO: Top Romney source tells me “no Condi.” More: Romney wants someone more comfortable in ‘attack dog’ mode”

Didn’t she vote for Barry last time?
Found this on the web. Not my words. You be the judge.

“According to her biographer, Washington Post diplomatic correspondent Glenn Kessler, the never married Rice shares ownership of a house as well as a line of credit with a female documentary filmmaker, a liberal Democrat named Randy Bean.”
“Digging through real estate records, Kessler discovered the pair’s co-ownership of a property in Palo Alto, California as well as a joint line of credit with a bank, an arrangement Bean has explained unconvincingly as relating to medical bills that left her financially drained.”
“It’s possible that others previously investigating Rice’s background came across the joint ownership of the investment property and the bank account but assumed the name “Randy” belonged to a man.”
“Rice once told a reporter that Bean is her closest female friend and that they bonded over their mutual love of football.”
Affirmative action has worked out so well for the Presidency. Let’s give it a try for the Vice Presidency too!

Condi would be a good running mate for Colin Powell.
I’ll pass on Condi. We need a conservative on the ticket. Good favorable ratings or not, she brings nothing to Romney’s ticket that isn’t already there, unless the establishment needs more inspiration.
BUMP!!
If Romney picks Condi that will cement it for me that he is a complete idiot and is not serious about winning...she is a liberal joke...hey just pick John McCain’s daughter, Meagan...same thing...Condi...a female John Roberts...it will prove Romney continues to listen to Carl Rove and is totally out of touch and lacks common sense...a Republican FDR in the making....
This looks like a slight of hand move...I hope it is anyway. IMO Romney has decided if the MSM wants to talk he’ll give them the topic of his choosing.
