Rice considering VP run?
Steve Clemons reports that this morning, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice attended Grover Norquist’s weekly conservative “powerhouse gathering” at Americans for Tax Reform. Although Rice denied running for office was part of her “political future,” one GOP operative was skeptical, noting that the only reason high-ranking officials go to the right-wing meeting is to “secure” their political positions:
Someone like Condi Rice doesn’t go to Grover Norquist’s den to talk about the Annapolis Middle East peace process. She’s going to secure her future in Republican politics and to position herself as a ‘potential’ VP candidate on the McCain ticket.

March 26th, 2008 at 3:51 pm“Rice considering VP run?”
Now that would be a disaster given the fact that Girlfriday couldn’t do both jobs as National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:52 pmBring it, Condiliesalot.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:52 pmGood…another link to a massively failed policy. I can’t see this as being good, so let her do it.
Want more of the McSame? Rice as VP locks that one up.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pmOh, yeah, baby. Bring it on. Tweedle dee and tweedle dumb run for the WH. She is the most incompetent national security advisor and Secretary of State this nation has had in a long time. Pathetic, if this is the best the GOP can do
March 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pmMcCain - Rice? The most mismatched notion since tasty and tofu were in the same sentence.
Oscar and Felx were better matched.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:55 pmMs. Rice will be subjected to the same questions that both Obama and Clinton are facing with the added “Why aren’t you married?”
How is the Family Values crowd going to cozy up to a single VP? If it’s fair game from the republicans to ask how one feels about McCain if it were known he’s raising a bastard child I’m sure there won’t be a problem asking about the sexual preferences of the potential VP.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:59 pmSouthern Man Says:
The republicans would never have a woman, or a black woman for that matter run as VP.
True enough. But it still looks like someone is going to have to go shoe shopping……
March 26th, 2008 at 4:01 pmWell, if McCain put her on the ticket he would get a toofer. A black and a woman. I doubt it would help his candidacy a whole lot. She’s almost more toxic than he is.

She’d be nothing more than a token black figure ; one who is a total incompetent ……That is all your beloved horseshit GOP has…..How sad.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:02 pmPotential VP… for McInsane? W/ Big Daddy Botch giving his blessings?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH… whoa… THAT’S funny.
Oh PleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePlease… bring that one on!
McInsane-Rice ‘08… More… of… the… Same Sh*t!™
March 26th, 2008 at 4:03 pmIt will never happen…Try to explain to the GOP redneck base that their worse nightmare, a black single women is only a heartbeat away from the presidency.

They would put aside their bigotry and sexism if they thought it would enhance their chances of winning the white house. But they are going to have to find a much better candidate than Condi. I doubt that any blacks would be encouraged to vote for McCain with her on the ticket and most women despise Condi. Then McCain would have to deal with all the bigoted and sexist voters in the Republican party.
I wouldn’t mind Condi on the ticket at all. She would further drag McBush down and embarrass the Republican party the way McBush is embarrassing them now.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:06 pmWow. A fake Sec. of State and a fake Senator! Separately, they are both useless. Toether, they are both uselesser. Is we learning yet?
March 26th, 2008 at 4:07 pmMcCain is the first half,Rice is the second half..
March 26th, 2008 at 4:10 pm1/2 + 1/2 = 1 Bush
Well, she has so much experience after all! Flying around the world building bridges and all.
snark off
March 26th, 2008 at 4:11 pmHeh. She’d be much better as the SOS (Secretary of Shoes). More qualified, too.
*eyeroll*

March 26th, 2008 at 4:13 pmThanks for making my day. I Really needed the laugh. Once again Truth is far stranger than fiction. If anyone needed a reason to vote against the Republicans, this is It.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:14 pmImpeach Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution
Abu Ben Hussein Leporello.
Sounds very unlikely Shes way too connected to the old regime, and responsible for the mismanagement of the war, which McCain is trying to distance himself from. And shes extremley dull and boring just like McCain.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:14 pmPerhaps a competent, respected black woman would enhance the electoral prospects of a Republican candidate.
Condi Rice ain’t it.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:16 pmShe’s a terrible speaker! It’s painful to listen to her.

March 26th, 2008 at 4:18 pma vapid update from Clemons:
“I won’t go into more of what she said in the meeting — but can say that she gave a tour de force discussion of America’s global foreign policy and national security positions.”
“And by all accounts I have heard, her performance was stunningly good, very well received by one of the major bastions of American conservative power players, and that she “won them over,” according to one source.”
First of all, all this global foreign policy talk was for the benefit of Americans for Tax Reform whose primary goal is to establish ‘taxation without representation’ for the majority, and ‘no taxation with maximum representation’ for the richest 1% (and their buddies who can make that happen).
So what does foreign policy and national security have to do with that? (Unless of course there’s some kind of business profit tax angle to US foreign policy and national security policies which..ummm, there undoubtedly is).
Second of all Rice’s ability to “win over” anyone in that crowd is an accomplishment equivalent to earning your mother’s praise for voluntarily washing the dishes for once.
Third of all, if Rice is such a brilliant policy wonk, how come she has achieved exactly zip nada nothing zero bubkus as Sec. State (and of course she though the biggest threat to the US at 7am on September 11, 2001 was a possible nuclear strike from Russia).
Finally, I know Clemons isn’t a right-winger or even a libertarian, but his frequent breathless regurgitation of anonymously sourced scuttlebut mixed with credulous conjecture suggest to me that he’s trying to be a lefty Matt Drudge.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pmThe dems couldn’t be so lucky. When even the majority of republicans are turning from Bush, to choose someone from his administration? That would be political suicide for McCain.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pmI think it would be a great fit for Rice to be VP. She currently does nothing as Secretary of State, so she would be able to continue doing nothing as Vice President, since VP’s traditionally (except for Darth Cheney) do little or nothing.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pm#15–They would put aside their bigotry and sexism if they thought it would enhance their chances of winning the white house.
Absolutely ridiculous.
It’s precisely these base behaviors that the republics rely on in order to drive out their base to vote against their rational best interests. You don’t want mcshame to beat bush in the primaries? Spread the misinformation that mcshame fathered an illegitimate black baby.
That’s the republic party modus operandi: highlight those aspects of the enemy (democrats) that you know will cause the greatest emotional reaction in your base–appeal to their racism, sexism, homophobia. Straight out of the rove playbook.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pmcorrection…Clemons might not be a libertarian, but he does appear to me to be an “independent”… and not in what Iwouyld consider ‘the good way’.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:27 pmGo Condi! Maybe Chevron can name a couple of more tankers after ya! And what was the name of that August 6th PDB again??? “Bin-Laden determined to strike in U.S….because it was CLINTONS FAULT”. ;)

Ah..but Willy…haven’t you noticed that tradition is so 20th century? The new paradigm is that the President does nothing and the VP exercises executive power.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pmMore likely she has some lofty perception of herself, continuing on as Secretary of State, and bringing peace to the Middle East through continued weapons sales.

I say-
Why would I brag at about the GOP at this point? Nothing to brag about. I was just making an observation MC. At this point, I don’t see anything helping either party right now. The political flow of this election is hard to understand. We are in new territory with a woman senator and a black senator on one side, and an old senator on the other. The GOP has already locked in their candidate and the democrats are still fighting to win theirs. Throwing Condis name around right now is a political tool Mc Cain can use since the democrats are still infighting for their candidate. Condi will never be seriously considered because of what she has been incapable of doing in Iraq.
Throwing Condi’s name around would be a HUGE DETRIMENT to McStupid , SM ; she has proven to be tremendously incompetent and falsely built up .
McStupid is going to have a hell of a time trying to convince woters in this country on his laughable assessment that staying in Iraq (much less for a century) , is a “good thing” , let alone bandying about an incompetent Chimpy administration official’s name as anything other than the butt end of a joke……………..Never mind his grasp on the US economy is about as fluid as Chimpy’s speech pattern.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:41 pmSounds like that “GOP operative” was having a wet dream. Let’s not forget that Rice was appointed by Bush, and has never held an elected office. A NSC advisor who, somehow, completely misinterpreted the August 6, 2001 PDB regarding OBL’s intention to hit the US…possibly with airliners? I will NEVER forget her explanation before the 911 Commission that she saw it as some kind of “historical” comparison. WHAT?!?!? I think it was her own mentor, Brent Scocroft, who said she was the worse NSC advisor ever and way in over her head. And I’m still trying to figure out what she’s supposed to have done successfully as Sec. of State. Anyone?
March 26th, 2008 at 4:45 pmIt is hard to fathom that the Republicans would think that pairing the world’s last Spanish American war vet with a stammering, deer-in-the-headlights lightweight who openly worships the current failure in chief is a good idea. These stories linking Rice to higher office paired with her denial pop up like clockwork. Not sure if she plants them or if the novelty of a black female Republican causes the miniscule brains of the Washington press to spin. I wouldn’t read anything into this one.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:59 pmMaybe she just brought the cookies for the meeting.

Well I think that all three of them are terrible speakers (McCain is boring and completely predictable, Bush can’t speak English and has that horrible way of chuckling at inappropriate times) but when Condi speaks it’s as though each word has to be pulled out of her throat against its wishes! Plus, she lies constantly (not unlike the other two awful speakers you mentioned).
Her speaking style is halting (to the max), unnatural and very uncomfortable to listen to.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pmNow that I think of it - Condi’s speaking style is probably that way BECAUSE she’s lying.

Yeah, probably same thing as K-Lo pushing Lynne Cheney for pres.
Wingnuts just throw anything out there. Must be nice to not be shackled to reality.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pmHeck - why not! They’ve already nominated an inept presidential candidate - why not someone equally inept for VP! It’s the republican way.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:11 pmRice? Nah, they’ll probably just go with Cheney as VP again. You know, because his ideas were all so successful his first two terms.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:20 pmHaving failed miserably as “National Security Advisor” and “Secretary of State,” Condi decided she’d like to try her hand at being “Vice President”. After seven LONG years of watching both Bush and Cheney dodge accountability for consistent failure, she rightly figured that there’s nothing to either job. The only skill you really need is a keen ability to CYA.
In the Bush administration, the only prerequisites to be president or vice president is that one must be arrogant, ignorant and exceedingly evil. In Bush World, with respect to these metrics, I’d say Condi was over qualified for either job.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pmFried Rice as VP….just sit back and picture that for a second…
Now try to quit laughing.

Did you miss that part of my post? The problem is that it would not increase their chances of winning, so they won’t do it. If anything, it might hurt them on their own home front.
March 26th, 2008 at 5:51 pmthe only way mccain will win the whitehouse is to appeal to scared whites that are prejudiced, hence all the obama is a scary negro and clinton is a weak woman media memes. this strategy will only pick up steam as november approaches. if rice is the VP, isnt that some sand in their gears? and we all know rice is a complete lickspittle but she has to have some self-respect so i dont think she will just sit by and let this strategy go forward. but then again Bushco never seems to hit bottom…
March 26th, 2008 at 6:13 pmI just had to become a member of this site to defend Condi. You won’t be able to play the race or gender card for once if she is the VP canidate. Are you all afraid? What will your candidate have to do? OH WAIT, speak on the ISSUES at hand. What a concept. I personally fell the dems are so busy fighting among themselves that they cannot even decide on which candidate they like .. haha haha hahahahah .. that’s all i do .. laugh.

Of course it’s allowed. And we can deal with it. We deal with different views all the time.

March 26th, 2008 at 7:34 pmDo you have the actual data? YOU actually KNOW how many democrats vs republicans are on welfare? What I meant by “welfare baby” is that you all want the government to “take care” of your woes. It was an irony. And yes, I am a Republican. I’ve never been on welfare. I work. I pay extra for health care because I have Lupus. I have a 22 year old daughter who does not have health care because she cannot afford it. BUT at least she doesn’t do like other girls her age and get pregnant just so she can have welfare. She pays CASH for her doctors office visits. All I’m saying is stop blaming others or expecting others to care for you and take care of yourself.

GOP’ers are scum and a majority of them are on welfare, (see how that works, make a claim with no facts and post it as fact.)
Actually it is a fact. Many GOP’ers are owners or work for corporations who get all kinds of subsidies and tax breaks. That’s “welfare” in my book, as is bailing out the financial industry from a mess they created themselves.

I just truly believe that most democrats must be welfare babies by the way that they think, and that scares me. I don’t want the goverment or the community raising my kids. I did just fine. I don’t want the government in charge of my health care. It seems that you all just complain. I don’t see any FACTS.
Please include this in post @ 85 above.

You cannot even post a sinlge cohesive post in one post and you rely on others to do it for you, “Please include this in post @ 85 above.” and yet you have the balls to say:
“I just don’t believe that the government has the responsibility or the right to take care of you people, or me for that matter.”
You would die from your own stupidty with minutesupon awakening if it were not Government regulations and constructs that PROTECTED you against yourself. Go back to crazy town please, and give Karl a kick in the nuts for us while you are there.

“powerhouse gathering”
Isn’t.
March 27th, 2008 at 8:32 amWhat a combo that would be! The ticket would be really empowered by adding the “worst” National Security Advisor and the “worst” Secretary of State ever as a running mate. Bring it on!
March 27th, 2008 at 8:42 amOn the other hand, Rice would be a far cry from Cheney. Instead of running the country by running the president (as Cheney has done), she would simply sit as the president’s ultimate sycophant, as she has done with Bush. And instead of amassing power for herself, she would simply wait to be told what to do. Being somebody else’s wind-up doll has been her biggest talent.
Only problem — McCain is getting older, and it’s a possibility that he may not survive four years in office. What would Condi do if she actually had to stand on her own?
March 27th, 2008 at 9:02 amMcStain naming Rice or even Colon Powell would be brilliant tactically, since it would steal all–or in any case really diminish–the thunder of the Dims’ circus candidacies. With the big “advantage” of having a stern, father-figure, WHITE male at the top of the ticket to appeal to and assuage Mid-Dull Murkans’ fears and insecurities…

March 27th, 2008 at 11:48 amRice is an extraordinary liar, suitable for any junta, far right or left. Her dead mentors, Leo Strauss and Irving Kristol, along with the “heroes” of the W.H.I.G. would excitedly approve.
