It's hard to believe Team Romney is really considering Condi for Veep...

[joycejnr]

...unless they want to keep the Tea Party racists at home this year.

Could they be that optimistic that she'll help the ticket, or is it just a diversion from "1040 Gate?"

[hlthe2b]

1. African American, Female, Pro-Choice, and Pro-Affirmative Action... yeah, that will happen

And that does not even include her GWB* baggage.

[pnwmom]

5. The lesbian rumors would be enough to stop them from every picking her.

It's funny, though, how much better she seems now than she ever did in the pre-tea bagger days.

[Politicalboi]

2. Some of those Teabaggers

Were Cain supporters. They only bring out Condi to try and prove they aren't racists. It's harder to believe Condi would accept Rmoney's offer.

[librechik]

3. don't bother--they are just jingling their shiny keys at the MSM

which has suddenly gotten very interested in a pile of shit Romney has his foot in. They want them to look at the keys, not the shit. But it smells so heavenly (the shit, to dogs)

Go boy! Get him! No, don't look over there!

ah, hell it's Friday. It will die by Monday. Romney will be walmking around unmolested in October with that smelly shit all over him. They don't care.

[flamingdem]

4. It's taking up news time but the clockhand always points back to..

BAIN

[katsy]

6. condi of the

"bin laden determine to attack in the U.S. report ignored" fame?

Same condi who couldn't be bothered reading that report? lololol

[Spazito]

7. They aren't, it's just a lame, pathetic attempt to divert attention...

from the growing storm around Mr. Outsource/Offshore's lies and possible felonious acts around Bain. It has already failed.

[randome]

8. "See? We're worldly enough to consider non-white, non-male prospects!"

"Aw, shucks, Condi, too bad you didn't make the grade!"

It's hard to believe anyone takes what they say seriously.

[rox63]

9. Just trying to distract the media from the growing Bain scandal n/t

[kentuck]

10. The reason they are planting Condi's name is because ...

They are considering a woman on the ticket but it's not Condi. They are planting her name to see how the public reacts to a woman on the ticket, after the debacle of Sarah Palin.

More likely, they are looking at the sweet, unthreatening Senator from New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte, or the very popular Tea Party Governor from South Carolina, Nikki Haley? But not Condi...

[11 Bravo]

11. They're not. This is merely a pathetic attempt to distract from the Bain anchor that is slowly ...

dragging poor Mittens deeper and deeper into the murky depths.

[SunsetDreams]

13. Nail Meet Hammer besides

Condi Rice Still Not Interested In VP Slot

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/spox-condi-rice-still-not-interested-in-vp

[11 Bravo]

16. Correct, and even if she were interested, Rice is PRO-CHOICE!

Can you imagine the shitstorm THAT would stir up? It just ain't happening.

[lunatica]

12. Teabaggers loved Herman Cain didn't they?

They'll love Condi. The rest just want us to shut up about how racist they are.

[Douglas Carpenter]

14. Condi Rice would serve for the right-wing base the same role that Herman Cain

had - proof to themselves that they are not really racist. "They don't dislike African Americans - just the wrong kind of African Amerians." 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

[Ruby the Liberal]

15. It is a distraction, IMO

They have the money interests, they need to shore up the teahadists, and hate to say it, but she isn't their cuppa.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Diversion, he isn't considering Rubio either.

The VP nominee will be an old white male christian. Bet on it.

[onenote]

18. Condi would be a terrible veep candidate and they know it.

Traditionally (at least in recent years) the Veep nominee plays the role of campaign attack dog, allowing the Presidential candidates to stay (or at least attempt to stay) above the fray. Condi as a nasty attack dog just cut it, imo. They would be forced to have Romney take that role, and that's not going to sell well with independent voters.

[Matariki]

20. Good point - they'll try and use her to circumvent accusations of racism in their attacks.

[Matariki]

19. hmmm, I think the main concern for Tea Party racists was in the primaries

I think they want to appear more centrist now. Interesting move...

[Blanks]

21. Maybe they think Rice n Mittens sounds close enough to Richard Nixon.

[joycejnr]

28. lol! n/t

[Rex]

22. Are you kidding me? She is perfect!

Besides she would bring a few extra braincells to a group sorely lacking in intelligence.

[Hugabear]

25. That is exactly why she is over-qualified for the job

Make no mistake - she is evil, she should be in prison along with the rest of the Bush cabal. But she is also smart - much more so than Palin could have ever aspired to be.

The current teabaggers don't really seem to like intelligent people too much.

Now someone like Santorum, on the other hand, they'd be just peachy keen with him as VP

[Rex]

27. You bring up a good point, why do they like

Santorum over someone like Condi? Like you say, she is evil and should be rotting in prison along with the BFEE. Still, she would bring something to the RMoney party they are lacking - originality. I've never seen such a fake campaign as the one RMoney is running. They all strike me as great big phonies!

[rhett o rick]

23. They have clearly choosen to go after the white racist vote and not worry about the black vote.

They have a plan to disenfranchise the black community.

Condi on the ticket would only piss off the racists and not fool the black community.

[RZM]

24. It is hard to believe. Could be just a bunch of hot air with little behind it n/t

[The Wielding Truth]

26. I think it's a distraction from the falsified SEC filings.

[Jack Sprat]

29. It's even harder to believe she'd accept it.

Not only that, I doubt she wants to revisit that old terror memo thing again. Something about al qaida set to strike at U.S., something another. Plus, the only terrorism Romney knows is financial terror against U.S. workers.
