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.

RINOmney could care less what people on this site think!
He is going to pick a squish like himself.
He now knows, with the healthcare bill being upheld, that YOU have no choice but to vote for him.
Yea, you’re treated like a slave, just like everyone trapped on the Democrat Plantation!
The beatings will continue until the moral improves!
The VP will likely be Susana Martinez, she will fit in perfectly with Romney...a Dem before she was a “republican”....

No Rice. Yes “Beans”.
(my family comes through Mejico, so I can say it)
Amen, you tell 'em. This is why the whole "race" thing is a bunch of crap. If you saw photos of my great-great grandfather, you'd never in a gazillion years picture him as having red-haired, blue-eyed, freckled descendents. IMO, the whole "hispanic" and "black" and "Asian" and "Native American" and all the rest of that crap is just that -- crap that serves zero purpose but to distort and deceive.
We are all flesh and blood, skin and bone, love and hope.
I get disgusted when folks immediately assume anybody who looks Mexican or South-of-the-Border, is an illegal. And it's all the more ludicrous because a LOT of folks south of the border are white skinned and blue eyed and every bit as damned "Hispanic" as the soft-brown dark-eyed folks like my great great grandfather.
It's all a bunch of horse crap. I'm proud to FReep with an AMERICAN of European descent whose ancestors were here before the British. Vet, you beat the Mayflower -- and also, thanks for your service.
AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!! AMEN!!!!!

She was definitely an Obama supporter.
There would be tons of upside with the one-third of voters who are independents and little downside except with social conservatives who already hate Romney.
There are still lots of PUMAs smarting over how Barry treated Hillary. Also, single women are Romney's worst demographic except for Blacks, and peeling off even a few percentage points there would kill Barry's chances.
Note that the Arpaio Posse findings will be announced this Tuesday, July 17 and if Trump signs on, Romney will be accused of racism by association. What better way to inoculate against the racist charge than to have Condi in the bullpen warming up for the VP slot, even if Romney doesn't ultimately pull the trigger.
Condi is THE PERFECT choice, IMHO.
She KNOWS her stuff, can toss bombs with Pelosi EASILY, has a very limited tolerance for bulls**t and non-performance.
She’s FEMALE, she’s BLACK, and she is a REPUBLICAN. You can call her a RINO if you like, but I don’t, and never have.
She is EVERYTHING that Obama is not, and unlike Sarah PAlin, any leftist attacks can be called “Racist” thanks to the media setting that bar in 2008.
It's less than even that, if you go by what Matt is linking it to presently.
And if he's been leaked to, he's been leaked on...
I disagree...except for the gender, of course.
I would be absolutely thrilled with Rice.
Maybe not my #1 but Condi brings a lot of plusses
If you really wanted to throw people off, you'd selectively leak Rice to Drudge, and then in a couple of days name Christie. People would be wiping their brows *phew* not that Bush babe.
But I've never met a fat Mormon and I suspect they are given to weightism (lol), and Fatty Arbuckle overfills the bill.
At any rate, it's been Rubio since Jan. 2011, but just sayin'...
Condi is THE PERFECT choice, IMHO.
Agreed. Christie is another RINO.
Don’t forget strong foreign policy and national security experience, of which Romney has none.
She would be the most accomplished and articulate candidate on either ticket.
No we're not. We're only doomed if the base stays home and refuses to vote.
We need to give them a pro-life conservative. The base already distrusts/despises Romney. These are the same folks who wouldn't pull a lever for Giuliani if the choice was Rudy vs. Stalin.
Trust me on this.
Would you of?
I woulda!
Thanks for the chuckle. It isn't every day one has the opportunity to read such epic sarcasm fail.
“99% of the hispanic’s are illegal!!!! “
Not this proud Hispanic Freeper..........
