The problem with Condi is that it makes it Obama vs Bush...Condi will be grilled over her role in the leadup to the Iraq War, it’s going to open up a can of worms that was best left alone.
At the same time, it brings the ticket even further from conservative values.

Romney needs to select a Conservative and someone who will inspire confidence that they can assume the Presidency. Token picks like Rice are what got us into this mess under our first Affirmative Action President.
