WHile Rice would be an interesting selection for a campaign, I would prefer someone who could add some political balance to the ticket ... also, someone with better foreign and defense policy credentials or positions. How about Newt (if he’d take it), or any of several other well-known people we could probably agree on? We want as good a govt as possible now after these last 3.5 disastrous years ...
Consider too that in the election A.M. (After Mitt) the veep will be the heir apparent to the GOP candidacy. Someone who is not so wishy washy she would vote democrat (like Condi did) is needed.
