Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the last GOP running mate, predicted former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would make a “wonderful” vice president for Mitt Romney.
“I think that Condoleezza Rice would be a wonderful vice president, and she certainly has much more experience than our sitting president does today,” Palin said Thursday night on Fox News’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

She doesn’t need to provide “concrete evidence”. She’s Sarah Palin.
Well, Iraq is a free nation and they are no longer being murdered by a dictator over there and boiled alive in oil for speaking against him. That is not a negative!
That's what used to be known as "damning with faint praise".
Condi would be a show figure much like her and Powell were under GWB. Except I don't think she plays politics.(She strikes me as a good person regardless of her opinions.)
Funny that you would ping me to an article referencing Palin AND Condi because I see Condi wanting to run as VP as likely as I used to tell you that Palin would run for POTUS, which is close to 0%.
At least Condi is not playing up the big tease that she will run to maximize $$$ when she had no intention of doing it.
I don't like GWB or Romney
Why does Palin's opinion on this matter anyway? Is she still teasing the most gullible? Going to jump in at the convention ??? LOL
The poll I saw, ostensibly testing the reaction of GOP voters (but likely slanted by outsiders), favored Condi by a wide margin over an unnamed alternative. Hope Romney is not paying much attention to that.
Doesn't the Veep legislate as a tie breaker in the senate?? And, should something become of the president, the Veep then becomes President. Yikes.
You are correct. What many seem to be missing is that this decision is up to Romney. His decision will send a signal to the party as to how much he respects the conservative wing of the party. Selecting a RINO is a political statement entirely under his control. Choosing Rice is poking conservatives in the eye.

She brings Bush into the fight.
I have to add, though, then when I reviewed the video, she wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as she has been when commenting on other candidates. I’d call that a ‘tell’.
Sarah is wonderful!
Yeah maybe Romney will pick Sarah Palin as VP and then quit soon after becoming president .That would work wouldn’t it?
Sarah is wonderful!
Good grief.
” Sarah, “wonderful” is not a word I would have chosen for the politically one dimentional Rice, as a possible VP alternate to the president. “
Rice, with her specialty being Russia in her head, is not all that conservative, and paired on the ticket with the socialist Romney, is not “wonderful”.
Rice is pro abortion in the vein of Laura and Barbara....to say....quiet about it, but pro-abortion nevertheless.
Sarah is getting better at blurring some hard lines now, in the name of....well,......er,....in the name of WTH?
Thought she was “ON” to the Establishment types, RINOS, political elites, etc.?
McCain was bad enough, but Hatch (who has “profound respect for Roberts”)? Rice?
“Wonderful” is nearly, almost, an endorsement. Come ON.
