A minority or a woman for VP might give McCain just enough of an edge to beat Obama/Hillary
Condi Rice is still on my “long list,” but she used to be on my “short list.” She moved down somewhat in light of her lack of conservatism as SecState (although obviously she is much better than Madeleine.)

Oh, great. More of the “we can beat the Democrats by becoming just like them!” mindset.
People should be elected President because they’re the best person for the job. Not because they’re a woman, black, the “right” religion, or members of any other group... except maybe competent.

I think he all but has to nominate a woman/minority VP candidate if he wants to beat Obama.
Hillary? I think there’s enough of a ‘not another Bush or Clinton’ sentiment out there among the general public that McCain, especially with his ability to draw the political middle ground, would defeat her quite easily.
