Late Thursday evening, Mitt Romney's presidential campaign launched a new fundraising drive, 'Meet The VP' -- just as Romney himself has narrowed the field of candidates to a handful, sources reveal.
And a surprise name is now near the top of the list: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!
The timing of the announcement is now set for 'coming weeks'.

It was Condi who received two standing ovations at Romney's Utah retreat a few weeks ago, and everyone left with her name on their lips.
Rice made an extended argument for American leadership in the world.

We need somebody with personality, and a flamboyance missing with Romney. You want a pro-life, pro-defense, hard core conservative? I’ve got just the guy. Somebody dig up B-1 Bob Dornan’s phone number.
This is surprising. What’s wrong with Rubio? He ssemed a slam dunk

Not me.
I already don’t like Romney. If he’s going to pick another RINO as VP, screw him and the GOP.
Remember, Rice will be the top choice for Presidential candidate after Romney, if he manages two terms. If anything, she’s LESS acceptable than he is.
No one comes with a stronger knowledge of foreign affairs. the icing on the cake is she is a woman who is also black. this candidate will rip off the last of the tattered mask of libs to show their bigotry and gender bias. if this doesnt do it there truly is no hope for the “50” percent who still support the marxist dem party. the party of anti black kkk jew hating POS.
It would be confusing if the first lady was the spouse of the madam president though, right?
The only immediate bright spot would be the Biden / Rice debate.
Allen West for VP! The Democrats know he’s the best of all candidates regardless of color. The Dems are scared that more people will get to know West and are therefore getting Soros to send an obscene about of money to try to shove West aside. West is brilliant and a wonderful American and will be on the national scene.
If debating skills are so important, why is Romney on the ticket instead of Newt?
ALLEN WEST !!
ALLEN WEST !!
I don’t know how much more of this nonsense I can take, but there must be a limit.
Please, no Rice. STOP this Black crap and just pick a damn conservative.
If Romney doesn’t want to win this thing, all he has to do is step down and open the door for a REAL CONSERVATIVE.
I can’t stand Romney, but honest to God, I have been trying to convince myself to go against everything within me and vote for this dweeb....yet here he goes again.
I fully recognize the nightmare that another 4 years of Obama would bring... but for crying out loud, just how much pig shit can we tolerate from this freaking RINO.
I am getting sick... damn.
Rubio is not eligible per the Constitution of the United States of America. Not that it matters to you or the republican party.
I fully agree. There’s no budging the black vote away from Obama. Even if Cain had been the man, I doubt blacks would have crossed over. Maybe a black GOP vs. a white Dem, but no other way.
At least recruiting a conservative Hispanic would get some break in to that voting bloc.
Now I must state that I do deplore the fact that we have to play voters as blocs, but that’s just how it is.
On top of all that Condi failed to impress me. I was very optimistic when Bush picked her to run NSA, but as time went on, and she moved to State she just got worse and worse. At State in particular she was completely co-opted by the bureaucracy and forgot to be loyal to her president rather than the department.
Don’t know what everyone’s so flustered about. If you’ll swallow Romney you’ll swallow Rice.
Two toppings of pro-abort not-obama crap on the cracker, and still you’ll gulp it down with a smile.
Found this in about 20 seconds.

Plus she’s pro-abortion, pro-amnesty for illegal aliens, anti-Israel.
Col. West is the BEST choice by far.
Yes that’s a great point...(I guess Portman is my pick at this point, but I’m no expert on VPS!)
I am a great admirer of Lt. Col. West. I sent an email of support to him during the Iraq incident and received a thank you email from Mrs. West.
I would like to see him as Secretary of Veterans Affairs in a Romney administration.
I’m also an admirer of Governor Palin. I wish she was President of the United States. I hope she will be appointed Secretary of Energy, with orders to transfer its critical functions and shut that department down.
The woman is pro abortion. That is the clarified problem.
