Rice Disclaims Interest In Veep Spot

Sec/State Condolleezza Rice just finished speaking to reporters in DC, and she was asked about speculation she's angling to join John McCain's ticket.

She said:

Sen. McCain is a great patriot, outstanding, but I'm going back to Stanford, back to California, West of the Mississippi. My participation in the election will be voting as a voter."

Not terribly Shermanesque. And will your participation be limited, Madame Secretary, to voting? Or will it include, in your mind, other duties as well?

Comments

She already has one war loving husband, W, but she will love to marry another war mongerer, McCain.

Does she always talk so weirdly? "Voting as a voter"?

Remember when she was in Russia and asked in public if she wants to be POTUS and she answered yes...

Somewhere in an underground chamber, surrounded by a bank of computers, large screen HDTV'S, and several dozen stacks of biographies of William McKinley, Karl Rove takes a small sip from his brandy snifter, draws a puff from his Cohiba, counts the money his brown bag from Roger Ailes and smirks at a portrait of Barack Obama on the wall.

"I love it when a plan comes together..."

from swimming freestyle:

"Prior to her tenure as Secretary of State, Ms. Rice served as National Security Advisor to President Bush from his inauguration until Colin Powell resigned in 2005. In other words, Ms. Rice was responsible to be the chief advisor to the President on all national security issues prior and subsequent to September 11, 2001. (Has anyone seen that "Al Qaeda Determined to Attack United States" memo?) If I were her, I might consider leaving this job off my resume."

Condi would make an excellent veep! I'd take her over pawlenty or romney any day of the week.

Thank you, Dan Senor, for daring to speak up about Sec. Condi Rice sending signals about the VP issue. The political experts are on record that she is making the right statement when "no means maybe" and all of this lays a foundation upon which the McCain/Rice campaign could be launched. It is that simple and credible; Condi Rice is still a Rock Star of the Republican party and that scares the Democrats. That is the plain truth.
