ABCNews’ Mary Bruce Reports: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is actively courting the vice presidential nomination, Republican strategist Dan Senor said.
“Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this,” Senor said this morning on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”
According to Senor, Rice has been cozying up to the Republican elite.
“There's this ritual in Washington: The Americans for Tax Reform, which is headed by Grover Norquist, he holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders -- about 100, 150 people, sort of inside, chattering, class types,” Senor said. “They all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice -- the first time a secretary of state has visited the Wednesday meeting.”
Senor explained that Rice’s history in public office would make her a prime candidate, especially in light of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain’s emphasis on experience throughout his campaign.
“What the McCain campaign has to consider is whether or not they want to pick a total outsider, a fresh face, someone a lot younger than him, a governor who people aren't that familiar with," Senor said. "The challenge they're realizing is that they'll have to have to spend 30 to 45 days, which they won't have at that point, educating the American public about who this person is.
“The other category is someone who people instantly say, the second they see that announcement, 'I get it, that person could be president tomorrow,'" Senor added. "Condi Rice is an option.”

Rice would be a huge mistake for McCain. He needs to distance himself as much as possible from the Bushies. He wouldn't pick up any black votes with Obama in the race, and he'd lose the moderates and independants who he needs to win this race.

she's denying it today.
yeah, it'd completely be Bush3 at that point. It already is, since Rove jumped on board and he completely reversed positions on the bush tax cuts.

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, ...or jump for joy! :-\

She would be a good choice. She would immediately become the smartest person in the race. Too bad it won't happen.

She would be a good choice. She would immediately become the smartest person in the race. Too bad it won't happen because she is forever attached to Bush's legacy in history as the nat'l security advisor during 911, and as the sec of state during the terrible iraq mess.
Tell us how you really feel, BB!

Worst National Security Advisor EVER
Worst Secretary of State EVER
Perfect resume for a neo-con politician where up is down and failure is success

I agree with (future) President McCain. :)
"I think she's a great American, I think there's very little that I can say that isn't anything but the utmost praise for a great American citizen, who served as a role model to so many millions of people in this country and around the world. But as I mentioned to you, we're not talking about the process because it just then gets into things that could easily to spill over into an invasion of privacy."

Of course you do. You're a bush groupee. You've marginalized yourself here. Ask the class what they think of you. You're an anti-gun, anti-1st amendment, pro-patriot act sheep. You used to be a great member here. Now, you're a relic.

I think Condoleezza is an amazing woman who is incredibly intelligent. I saw an hour biography on her and she has my full respect as a person. My guess is that she may have been stiffled some under the Bush white house but nonetheless, is an incredible person and would make a fine and respectable V.P.
