For those of you on the left, the choice of Condi Rice for Vice President will NOT change your mind about Romney or voting Republican. So quite frankly, if you think that it would be a bad pick, then I have to tell you that your opinion is immaterial... as usual. Asking the left who a Republican nominee should pick for Vice President, is like asking Biden if he could please keep his foot out of his mouth for just one week or if he could be semi-literate! Seriously??
A Condi Rice pick for Veep is NOT meant for the majority of African-Americans either. 60% vote Democratic in every election like the good robots they are. They've never known anything other than voting Democratic, regardless whether they know or understand the issues, so they will vote Democratic regardless. And I guarantee you that shreikers like the Reverand Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will be aghast at Condi being a "traitor" to African-American ideals. It will be an absolute Mongolian Cluster F*ck for them. I would warn her that there will be harsh and unbelievable personal attacks on her from this section of the public. Attacks that the left will rationalize and NEVER condemn. It will be vicious and EVERYTHING in her personal life will be fair game for the left including insinuation and innuendo. The 'rules' that they stress for their candidates NEVER applies to the republican candidates.
A Condi Rice pick for Veep would be a play for independents. And those independents who actually analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two candidates will clearly see the difference between sending Joe Biden overseas where you NEVER know whats going to come our of his mouth and sending Condi Rice who might actually do some good (refer to her work with Quadaffi to get him to stop work on his weapons of mass destruction).
I don't think she'd do it though... unfortunately. I think that the way the media treats republican nominees and the way that she will be utterly attacked by the left (professionally and personally) has limited the people who would actually put themselves through that...
