GOP Strategist: Condoleezza Rice Campaigning For VP Slot

UPI:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has exhibited interest in becoming John McCain's vice presidential running mate, a Republican strategist says.

Dan Senor revealed during Sunday's edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Rice has been seeking support to be considered for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket this fall.

"Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this," Senor said.

Karl Rove must be gloating. Mission Accomplished!

[GrainOSand]

Why do so many people give this impotent, morally bankrupt knucklehead so many accolades? He did not fool a majority of the people with his shenanigans but just enough to allow the theft that took place both times. This time Karl Rove is in store for a major surprise because like never before the people are energized. The man is a dweeb!

[etc]

Impotent as he might be, he still was smart enough to throw this apple of discord. The result is quite evident.

[GrainOSand]

Again, your ilk miss the point. People like me were anticipating, waiting for this conversation. The result is not going to be what you expect no matter who wins and I cannot wait. Get ready for a storm you and Rove could not see.

[nene]

Sorry, I meant to say don't like Condi that much

[woundedduck]

I think the VP is a good fit for Condi: After her tenure as the most ineffectual SoS comes to a close, she can segue right into her tenure as the most ineffectual VP ever.

[nene]

I hope this is not a republican attempt to woo black voters, because I can honestly say we really don't condi that much, we respect her, but we don't like her.

[FINTA]

I'm with you... putting her on the ticket does not make me want to vote RETHUG in the least bit... actually, even if I planned to sit out the election, it would send me to the polls to do my part in keeping her out...

she is a GW Shrub puppet... I can't stand the sight of the woman!

[SifSkade]

What are "we" respecting her for, exactly? Are "we" respecting her for having no honor or integrity, for being a liar and a bungler, for having raised denial to an art form, or for having positioned herself so far up George Bush's ass that she can probably see out of his mouth? I don't pretend to speak for all Black people -- nobody should -- but I think it's hugely inaccurate to suggest that she's universally respected within the Black community.

[Texas4Obama]

I can't understand why ya'll are so confused.

Senator Obama said he'd have the troops mostly all out within 16 months.

He will take the oath of office January 20 2009.

So 16 months would be right before the middle of 2010.

Has everyone forgotten how to read a calendar?

[GrainOSand]

They have not forgotten they just refuse to read because they are predisposed to their beliefs and nothing, not even a little thing like the truth will get in the way of that.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

gee, maybe it's because his chief Iraq advisor is now saying leave 60,000 - 80,000 troops there at the END of 2010

[Texas4Obama]

That was NOT his 'chief' Iraq adviser that said it.
That was just one advisers of MANY that said something in a report.
Obama DID NOT say it.
Obama DID NOT say it.

Don't let the Clinton SPIN go to your brain!

[vat6948]

Bring her on!!! Imagine Rice at the V.P. debate, trying to explain away her record as national security advisor, or her record at the State Department. Give me a break, this HACK belongs in JAIL!--- At the " 9/11 " hearings, when repeatedly asked, over and over, the title of Bush's daily briefing? Jail is the ONLY place for Rice,.----­-- I hope McCain picks this HACK, proving it is Bush's third term .------Bring it on, McCain !!!!!

[THEGEISHA]

This hack will have us hanging our heads. She is an accomplished debater and pianist. She will clean Hillary's clock if she is the VP. She has been in a combat zone, for real. If she is on the ticket half of the minority pop will vote for her even Japanese and other Asians.

[FINTA]

sorry.. not this minority!! Can't stand her...

and most of black vote would rather stay home... so, try again!

[Citizen69]

If she gets the spot it should prove, once and for all, that John McCain will not be an extension of the Bush administra­tion......­. rimshot! Take my sycophant.­...please!

[illinoisan]

This is one I think Rumsfeld got right. Rice is a "glorified Russian studies graduate student."

[mesuki]

Talk about continuing the Bush administration for the next 4 years.....­..God Help us all !

[Jbjowe]

How is she good for the country? She's supported Bush II. All his policies have failed. No peace in the Middle East, unemployment at at 3 year high, she was and still is for the silly war. These is nothing anyone can tell me even if Jesus was the Republican candidate that would make me vote Republican this year. They have single-handedly screwed up this country.

[eaboy]

Know-Nothi­ng/Do-Noth­ing 08

Sounds like the perfect ticket.

[FINTA]

hahaha... you got it right!!!

ANd if they think they is a ploy to get disgruntled black voters should Hillary steal the nomination, they better think again~!!!

First of all, I will not ever vote a man who not once, but twice voted against MLK having a national holiday!!! Secondly, he can't get anything right about Iraq.. or any other country for that matter,,,

for crying out loud people, the man said Putin was the President of Germany! (god help us)

And finally, Condi can't pull the black vote bc we see her as an extension of the man we loathe the most... GW!!!

I hope they pick that ticket.. sure LOSER come NOV!!!

[illinoisan]

As absurd as the prospect of her running for Vice President sounds, she'll be able to halt the quiver in her voice when she points out that *both* Obama and Clinton voted in favor of making her Secretary of State knowing full well everything she did to help Bush drive us into the ditch and everything she failed to do to prevent it.

[enoughalready13]

SHE WAS USELESS IN THIS POSITION

THE VP IS ESSENTIALLY A USELESS JOB

It is a perfect fit

[Boringat]

CongoLeeza is the perfect ticket balancer for a short senile gibbering white midget. She is tall and black and thin and.......­.......and­.........w­ell she doesn't seem to gibber.

[kevenseven]

The Rethugs would run the most inept National Security adviser ever to hold the jog?

Put Jim Webb on the ticket.

End.

[rojo7449]

Don't forget who they ran for president the past 2 terms.

[kevenseven]

Well, OK.
