also, floating Rice is a transparently cynical attempt by the Romney campaign to appear moderate.

the for-real veep candidate will be a conservative white male.

Romney said the person he picks will have the qualifications to be president if for some reason he could not continue. She was in charge of national security and was secretary of state and she

George W. Bush left office as the most unpopular president in the history of measuring presidential popularity. That's a pretty significant taint for those closely associated with his administration to carry. The counter-campaign of claiming Republicans are after Bush II: Bush Harder writes itself. Democrats are already trying that (in part because it's grounded in some truth). I can't imagine Rice offering a lot of balancing the ticket possibilities to offset that. Romney still has a serious enthusiasm problem among the non-Mormon religious right. I'd be surprised if he picks someone that doesn't have cred among that crowd unless they are already a close political ally of his.

And here I thought he was going to say that he would pick a birthday clown who will rain blood upon the world should he not be able to hold office.

Well, Palin has far more experience than Obama had and many correct views as well. Condi's got far more than Palin.

Far sighted, that for sure. Bet Rice can see the moon from her balcony window.

An thus it is illustrated that, as in the case of the Tea Party movement, liberals can't identify a single issue upon which they disagree with Palin. Their hatred of successful conservative women blinds them.
