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

The FP Interview: Condoleezza Rice on Obama, “Leading from Behind,” Iraq, and More

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.

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

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.

Condi Rice tops GOP VP list

What? Was Lincoln Chafee not available? /s

[fieldmarshaldj]

NO to Socialist Slick Willard !

Two pro-abortionists against two pro-abortionists.

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

No

[TigerClaws]

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.

[boomop1]

Oh boy politico bull shit again.

[EGPWS]

At least Rice isn't a "severe" faux conservative.

She'll tell you her liberalism up front.

[Da Bilge Troll]

The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International from April 13-15, with 473 Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Likely voters? Nope. Registered? Nope. And does "independents who lean towards the GOP" mean main-stream conservatives? Nope.

Oh sure, let's put another incompetent black artificial icon on a presidential ticket. It was Condi Rice who was responsible for George W. Bush losing his balls regarding Iran and North Korea when both Dick Cheney AND John Bolton were urging Bush to take preemptive military action against those two remaining legs of that 'Axis of Evil', remember that?

Hey if we're going to look at putting a token black on the ticket, call up Colin Powell, he can do a rap routine like he did not too long ago...

"Call me MC Boom-Boom!!"

NO. Granted, she is much more dignified than Biden, but she is not pro-life, and that will matter if she is needed for a tie-breaker in the Senate.

I will say, though, that it would just frost Michelle Obama to have an attractive black woman on the opposing ticket.

Here is a link to The Iowa Republican with their top 15 potential Veep picks with some discussion around them. Solid reasoning around the discussion.

The Iowa Republican

I could hold my nose and vote for Mittens, on about 1/3 of those picks, just to get that person as a front runner for next time around. Any of the rest, and I will be voting for Gary Johnson of the LP.

Romney/Rice 2012... Somebody better gear up the Rice-A-Romney graphics :P

[PreciousLiberty]

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

Except she’s said repeatedly she’s not interested.

I could live with choice #2: Romney-Santorum. :-)

[pallis]

I believe Condi voted for Obama last time around. That should qualify her as a good VP alternative him, should Biden stop playing the court jester. Condi won’t change the black vote, and she won’t do much for the feminist vote. She isn’t going to help with the Hispanic vote, and she won’t tip the scales in Florida. In her case, the PC VP doesn’t help much. Romney needs a VP who will attract voters he otherwise won’t get.
