Condi Rice says she is not interested in the VP spot.. AGAIN

<<Rice has previously said she would not consider the job. "There is no way that I will do this," Rice told CBS News in June when asked if she would agree to joining the Republican ticket. Despite Thursday's report, she's sticking to her word, says Georgia Godfrey, Rice's chief of staff.>>

Good for her coming out and saying this! I think she knows that the reason they put that out there was to score points after the NAACP debacle. Guess she doesn't appreciate being used that way.

is a trial balloon at best. There is NO WAY he's going to add her to the ticket as he'd lose too many votes from the TeaKlanners.

and realize she'd have 4 years of obscurity, going to funerals only when the Secretary of State was busy elsewhere.

who is pro-choice and has never been married (so she's probably one a dem lesbeens).

All we Dems would see is an incompetent National Security Adviser, a liar and a war criminal.

There is no win in this anywhere for Mittens. Ain't gonna happen.

Though she'll never admit it, I suspect she voted for Obama in 2008 and I believe she'll do so again.
