Condoleezza Rice is an extraordinarily accomplished woman: born in the segregated South, she grew up to be a superb concert pianist and trained figure skater who went on to become a Soviet expert, earn a doctorate, become a professor and provost of Stanford University, and then National Security Adviser and later, Secretary of State. She is a brilliant and elegant woman of high achievement.
It's no wonder, then, that there have been constant rumblings about the possibility of the eventual Republican presidential candidate choosing her as his running mate. A dazzlingly smart, black, Republican woman? Condi fits the bill of an ideal Vice Presidential candidate.
There are, however two problems. One, Condi has zero interest in elective office. She has always served in appointed offices at the pleasure of the President. She has never sought elective office, and she's not about to start now. As she told Fox News this morning, there's no way she's running for anything:
The next Republican president will want to turn the page, much as Obama did in 2008 when he turned the page away from Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and moved his party into the 21st century. The GOP nominee will want to do the same thing, which would be impossible with such a major 20th century figure on the ticket.
Look for the nominee to look to the future and choose a VP candidate from the bumper crop of outstanding young Republicans out there: Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Allen West, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. They may be in the fire now, but they are unburdened by the past. They represent the future. That will be the direction of the GOP nominee---at least that will be the direction of the nominee if he wants to win.
Great article, Monica! Chris Christie would be the best choice, IMO.

Not everyone is cut out for the pressures/exposures of elected office, and there is that vision thingy, but then I still expect an actually real leader, not just a coalition participant of the G20. ALTHOUGH A GREAT PUBLIC SERVANT, I am not sure Condi is even a Republican!
The dichotomies out there expose anyone to the middle finger of fate, as anyone who has confronted the sassy left knows all too well. And have you ever heard things like "you're not needed", or "that's really putting it out there"?
Posted by: Chief Joe | March 20, 2012 at 05:15 PM
I have just been called a blooter, so there is a sassy right faction- but then I would not be surprised if FOX filled airtime with a righty band called the Imperials, all wearing bowties, and bouncing basketballs.
Imagine Monica singing! I hear she has a nice voice.

You MUST be joking. My God, must you live in a reality-proof bubble.
The overwhelming majority of women DETEST Condoleeza Rice. The overwhelming majority of blacks DETEST Condoleeza Rice. The overwhelming majority of white males DETEST Condoleeza Rice for her incessant self-serving nonstop lying to embroil the US in an unwinnable Mideast war fought to make her and her cronies richer.
Chris Christie will be the running mate if Romney survives, and they will lose. The rabid conservaBorg of the GOP have run off 99% of ALL women.
You have only the insane rabid hateful church ladies left. And the handful of token women CEO's and rightwing pols.

If you want to probe the dirty little secret about what's really going on with the G.O.P, here's a suggestion: Observe the hideous troll trash from progland who are allowed to spam and virtually hijack Monicamemo. I know, I know. Like most newbies, you may be shocked, surprised and disgusted at how ranting prog psychopaths are allowed to disrupt conservative discussion of the GOP etc. But carry on for a while. Observe. (Use a gas mask if you need it.)
After you get a full picture of what's going on here at this "conservative" site, then we can start to discuss what's really going on with the GOP and the coming election etc.

G-man, instead of spending time connecting dots, I want to know -- as we all want to know -- the reason why a class act such as Dr. Monica Crowley allows vile left-wing troll trash to hijack her own website.

By comments, lack of an IQ BOI, is that trough the ages, white men even supressed white women from getting the education and opportunities that white men allowed themselves. Which is why white men invented more and created more than white women.
Women couldn't even vote until the early 1900s. And,the only schooling that was allowed for much of the white women population through the ages, was accomplished through being home schooled. Houses wifes don't need to go to universities.

Here Creepy gives it away.
These psychopaths don't mind disgusting others. Au contraire, this one likes to disgust others. This is Creepy's way of getting attention.
The sickie even believes that to disgust someone is to get their love. This is why Creepy will never stop parasiting here willingly. He's able to get attention by disgusting everyone. To him it's worth any amount of prog talking points he can use as cover for his disease. Becoming a lefty geek of Goebbels, a vicious liberal racist, is a very small price to pay for Creepy.

The dufus can paste, but can't even understand what he's pasting. The whole idea of evolution escapes the moron. Evolution is about developing higher life forms.
Even assuming that the first humanoids began in Africa (still arguable) some obviously got out to develop civilization. The ones who didn't get out obviously stayed black. No Greece and Rome for them. Is that what Creepy's point is? Does troll Creepy have any idea what his troll point is?--WHINER
Whiner just showed his Stupidity!
THe ones in Africa stayed black due to their exposure to the sun. As, people left Africa, and received less sunlight, their skin tones got lighter. Hence, DJ88's "Scandinavians are the whitest of whites".
