because I would enjoy seeing the discussions about Condi's failures re 9/11 and Iraq to be discussed over and over and over again.

(15,438 posts)They're all gungho when it comes to publicly supporting "their" Black people, but where the rubber meets the road, they balk at casting their vote for anyone not of their tint - porky pinkish.
Condi is being trotted out as a diversion from Baingate that's unfolding, and what will show that President Obama was NOT lying when he labeled Willard Mitt Robme as the "Outsource in Chief", because all that outsourcing happened between 2001 and 2002 when Robme said he had nothing to do with the decisions by Bain Capital.

She might be a bit "too liberal" for some of them. But I think they will swallow it if they think it will help beat Obama. If I was a GOP strategist I would be highly favorable to nominating Ms. Rice for Vice President.

(31,849 posts)Condi is a wise choice for romney VP pick.
She brings a foreign policy knowledge that goes far beyond romney and she can hold her own in a debate with anyone.
But this smacks of another $i$ter $arah pick and is further evidence of gop flawed thinking ... She's a woman so we'll get the womens' vote; she's Black so we'll get the Black vote
She might pile off a small percentage of the female vote with her "soft pro-choice" position; but she will not pile off any of the Black vote.

(21,925 posts)Her only claim to fame with the American public is her stint as the Chimp's teacher, guide, and cabinet member. Every time we would see Rice on our TV screens we would be reminded of the worst President in American history and the people who enabled his malfeasance. She is inextricably linked to the unmentionable Chimp, the one who isn't even invited to Republican events and who has to endorse Romney from within a closing elevator.
