mcsame has nothing on Rice she should be a president not a vp.

Too bad Condi Rice won't run. The woman is totally brilliant and has awesome credentials. I think she'd make an excellent vice-president.....or president.

No Obamination in the Presidency!

Hillary or McCain – 2008

Condi Rice has served her country very, very, well. I would like to see her in washington but, I understand why she would not want to. (to much of the Cronie net work)

Best of Luck to what ever she does in the future. She will go down in the books as one who served and not one that wanted to be served.

Thank You, Miss Rice!!
Independant from Iowa

For all of the comments about Condi splitting the black vote- ummm NOT! We hate seeing American Soldiers killed, Homes foreclosed, Gas prices at an astronomical rate, and the economy in shambles just like everyone else!!!! You think this doesn't affect us??? Why would we vote for a Bush puppet when we knew better than to vote for Bush the first 2 times? Please don't insult our intelligence

Obama '08 but will settle for Hillary!!!!!

I think working UNDER a twit with only 1/100th of her IQ has been enough for ole Condi. Let her go back to Stanford so she can hang out with SMART people for a change.

McSame just may be as stupid as Bush!

She is won't Be a VP for McCain... That's for Sure.... Maybe she wants to Back, Borack!!!
She would have to go against the Majority of the Blacks, if she went for the VP position for THEGOP..???????????? McCain ... Not Sure! Still what do I know???

She's bright, articulate, staid, and experienced.

Smart woman, she's heading back to Stanford.

Whom ever he picks better be good. All Howdy (McCain) Doody needs is a Bozo, and the team will be completed.

For all the people that compare McCain to Bush – read some history and facts – not a good argument. I would suggest something more logical for the presidential race – I don't think Obama has a chance anyway but this kind of argument that can be so easily contradicted is not going to help. I actually thouht people were exaggerating when they said Obama supporters could not make logical arguments and were just a cult – well I see where they got the cult idea, the comments here look ridiculous.

CONDI AND MICHELLE OBAMA BOTH GIVE ME THE CREEPS !

GO HILLARY !

Dr. Rice would be an awesome Vice President. She is brilliant, non-political, and more experienced with our Middle Eastern (and whole Foreign Policy) issues than any of the other candidates.

We lose great people (i.e. Colin Powell) because they don't (and I agree with them) want their personal lives, families, past utterances, and any iota of of their past lives discussed, distorted, and attacked by the ridiculous political machine that dominates our system of chosing leaders.

Dr. Rice, General Powell and the rest of the great Americans who have done wonderful service to our country deserve better than that, and I applaud their decisions to stay above politics.

At least she recognizes her insignificance. It would be great if Senator Clinton would do the same.

Personnally,

I think they should do like they did in the old days. The VP slot should go to person who got second place. How about that? A Republican President and a Democratic VP (or vice verse).

Condaleeza Rice performed the functions of the job description for position of secretary of state, as did Madeline Albright. Aside from the MAJOR faux pas that she was on the wrong side of the table in the decision to invade Iraq, she has done a credible job. However, other than the fact that she has the stamp of approval of the Republican party, I know of no significant accomplishment that distinguishes her performance in this position – so why would I or anyone else for that matter, cast a vote for her?

That's too bad.

Condi is a woman, she's black, and she's a hard working American Patriot. She embodies the American dream more than any candidate now seakinig the office of President. She is frank and forward and she is smarter than Obama, McCain, and Clinton together by at least 137 IQ points.

It's a shame more people like her don't run for President. As for VP, I wouldn't want to be McCain's VP either. But then again. with his age and health problems, it could be a back door for her into the Oval Office. Think about, Condi. Take one for the country and do it. God knows we need people like you at the helm.

Yes, but who is the worst liar of the two?

Reading these replies certainly reveals the fine job teacher's unions have been doing......not.

Rice is probably the smartest person currently in politics, regardless of political party.

Too smart to want to be VP.

McCain will win handily in the Fall because HRC and Obama are destroying each other. For that, I will be eternally grateful to Obama.

McCain just needs to choose a running mate that won't get in his way.

Good choice Condi, I wouldn't vote for you either. Too bad she will be remembered as Condi instead of Secretary of State Condolezza Rice or Ms. Rice which she should have respectfully demanded.

Ms. Rice was not able to carry out her duties as Secretary of State, how could she even be mentioned as a possible candidate for Vice President? She approved of our invasion of Iraq and knew there was no evidence of WMD.

I am happy she is not running. I do not think she want to run with McCain anyway.

Des Moines, Iowa

i would like to see her on the ticket

Who is Concerned Democrat?

You never know who these people really are. Vote with facts not your heart. Please read and understand what is going on with the issues. I have read and understand the facts which is why I'm voting for Obama but would vote for Hilliary. I would never vote for McCain and you could not be a true Obama or Hilliary support and vote for the guy that is totally different on issues that Obama and Hilliary.

I know this comment would never make it, but here goes...

Rice needs to get laid first before she can move on!!!!!! hahahah

What makes you think a democrat would vote for Rice?? I wouldn't vote for Obama..That just goes to show you if OBAMA should win he is looking at republican for V.P. NOW who will be crossing party lines???Do you think for one minute UNCLE TED would let him get away with that???You have the nerve to ask Hillary to step aside because she is breaking the party up..I don't think so...She is the only person that makes any sense...For all you people that have so much to say about the Clinton's..WHERE WAS OUR COUNTRY WHEN BILL LEFT OFFICE and where is it now???IN THE TIOLET.. (where it was when he took office)..Yep you really have something to cry about..GO HILLARY

Finally, we could have a black person who is a patriot in the contest.

Hillary '08

I love Condi. Rice. She is too intelligent to link herself with McCain who will be crushed in the 08 election due to his insistance to continue the wastefull foolish war in Iraq.

the most incompetent,impotent,do nothing sec. of state ever. i don't think her name will be mentioned in the same breath as henry kissinger, madeline albright, zbignew brzynski. her legacy will be iraq and the middle east spinning out of control. i think we all know why she was chosen by the cheney administration.

Thank you so much. Who needs 4 more years of you?

when will you morons learn the difference between "lose" and "loose"! I would't let any of you vote ! ! ! Gawd . . .

buh-bye condi! in the last few years, you've done enough lying for your bosses to last a lifetime. so just head off to stanford–if they'll have you back-and keep quiet! but dont leave the country, i have a feeling some people are going to be asking you some REALLY tough questions in the near future.

oK OBAMA WAS A LAWYER, BUT HE FOUGHT FOR THE LITTLE GUY NOT BIG BUSINESS........ OK CLINTON LIES ABOUT THINGS THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO LIE ABOUT, SNIPER FIRE, ENDING THE COLD WAR, TELLING GOD THERE SHOULD BE LIGHT...... NOW DIDN'T WE GET INTO A WAR OVER EXAGGERATIONS AND LIES......... SO WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT CLINTON WILL DO IN THE WHITE HOUSE??????????????

Thanks you... now leave us alone Condi, let someone like competent like Biden run our state department.

Find a husband and settle down, Condi.

Stop trying to be one of the guys.

This would be great! What would Obama supporters do? After Obama pushing race over and over and over.... What will his blind followers do?

Really folks, for those of you who keep pointing out that Sen. Clinton is a professional liar you should also look no farther than Sen. Obama. He was a lawyer with a large chicago firm that dealt with sleazy land deals. How much more of a professional liar can you get. And he got paid enough to buy the million dollar home from his equally sleazy former client/supporter. Think about that.

NOOOO!!! Please condi run!!!!! Please bless us with your intelligence!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has gave enough time to the United Stated Goverment it time for her to start a family and enjoy the rested of her life and get paided

An intelligent woman who just is being used by an incompetent administration. Academia is where she does best.

For those who compare her to Sen. Clinton are way off track. She has endured true danger in this country. As a young woman she lost friends that were bombed in a church. This was here in America.

The woman who knew about the threat of attacks prior to 9/11, because the Clinton administration handed her their intelligence, who then chose to ignore the threats, in fact, within the timeframe attacks were expected, a NORAD standown was allowed to happen due to training exercises.

Condoleeza Rice was a large part of the biggest failure in American Defense ever, leading to the loss of thousands of American lives and nearly half a trillion dollars. All she had to do was pay attention to the information handed to her, but she instead chose to ignore it. If Condi were to "serve" as VP, we might as well allow confirmed terrorists to "serve" in the Senate.

The reason most news agencies won't report anything bad about Obama, even the truth, is because lots of them are getting death threats if they do.

It's not just that they are against Hillary, they are afraid to say anything else

Dr. Rice should have been THE ticket.

Just as well. She's an empty suit who has contributed to one foreign policy disaster after another. The sooner she goes back to Stanford the better.

I really admire her and I am glad that she is clear as to her next direction. She would have made a great VP. She is not a politician though, so who knows how she would have been as a candidate.

HOLY COW LOOK AT HER EARLOBE!

Obama is not the only one who can wear pants. Rice can also be a charming and fascinating person. McCain use the WICCA. Obama will Rule the Roost.

Heres dream a ticket for ya:

Clinton/Rice

What a picture!
LMAO

Make that nightmare.

I'll have an order of Obama please.

Just trying to lighten things up a little.

Considering the puerile analyses and use of nonstandard English by the authors of these messages, I hope all of you are under 18 and not allowed to vote.

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO
BE IN FOR A REAL SHOCK AT THE LEVEL OF DISCRIMINATION THAT IS STILL PREVELANT IN THIS COUNTRY COME NOVEMBER.
SO I WOULDN'T BE ANOINTING OBAMA JUST YET.

Well that's very good thinking Ms. Rice...for at the very best, by demonstrated actions and performance...you are a light weight!!

well, McCain could do worse and he probably will....Crist?

Translation: "I know what a sinking ship looks like, and I don't want to be the gargoyle for a second one."

If she had no intention to run, then why did this make news in the first place????

McCain CONDA 08

Make all sense, she is really smart not to run this year since McCain will lose.

Wait for Rice 2012, this make more sense.

It is a good thing for Senator McCain. She is a political flop all the way.
Olga Gardiner

How about Obama/Rice – you can have your cake and eat it too!

Darth Vadik, what's it like in Hillary's Kingdom? It sounds like you're there now.

McCain is in good shape as far as the election goes. He'd crush Hillary and will have a close race with Obama.

Romney, plain and simple

"Rice Dismisses VP Rumors"-GREAT! We don't want her in office anyway! She's about as qualified to be VP as Bush is to be president-not in the least! What insane disease has gripped the GOP this century to even consider running such poor candidates? GOOD LORD!!!!

"McCain/Powell in '08"

SHE HAS NO POLITICAL FUTURE AFTER CONSTANTLY DEFENDING BUSH ON FAILED POLICIES.

What a coup it would be for McCain. It would attract a certain percent of African-American voters who are anxious to see a minority elected. And it would attract a large percentage of Clinton voters who have proven that they will vote for any female in the race, regardless of ethics, integrity or qualifications.

Rice is one of those super intelligent people who seems to lack common sense. It would have been great to have someone like her put her smarts and talents to better use than serving in the Bush administration.

McCain needs to pick someone that will help him win Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Ohio. If he picks that nominee, he will win in November.

Wow, can you imagine what Geraldine Ferraro would've said? She would've been so conflicted.

As a Catholic, I will continue to say the Rosary for anyone who votes for Hillary. Great nations such as the Roman Empire, fell because of lack of "morality, integrity, lies and so on." These types of moral issues are more important than "wealth." With all their wealth, the Clintons cannot fund their campaign?

She is to smart to be on a ticket with Mccain, Maybe once the Demo's blow this election they are about to win, she will be the country savior in 4 years

She knows it's Obama's time. Even though she is part of the republican machine, she is no dummy.

THANK YOU CONDI FOR "NOT" ACCEPTING THE POSITION , YOU HAVE TOO MUCH OF PRES. BUSH IN YOU "LITERALLY."

I put in a post at 1:30 it is still waiting moderation. Dark Vader put another one of his ridiculous coments at 2:10 and it is not waiting moderation> Just how do you run this blog thing? Do you only print the most bizzar and stupid things( sorry I said that, I know you do put in a lot of reasonable stuff) but you must have fovorites because they get in so many times.

Run for your life Connie!! Go sit out and lay low for a while enjoy your pension and come back and do what Hillary looks like she may not be able to do!!! See you in 2016!!

Why does Condoleezza Rice get so much praise? From what I can tell, she was a weak national security adviser and a poor secretary of state. She might be an intelligent person, but she has demonstrated over and over again that she is a poor adminstrator.

Can we end this VP talk before McCain actually considers her.

Until she says "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve," it's all in play. But Rice would be a terrible VP candidate.

Maybe Condi and Loe Lieberman can take their show on the road. " You say potato and I say patato" "You say tomato and I say tamato...........................

The only way to counter the thrid term arguement is to get Gore on the McCain ticket. ...

Smart woman, she is already part of the worst administration in US history.

Her legacy would be a VP to a warmonger! You are better off being a professor at Standford.

No McCain
No to Bush's 3rd- term
No to the Iraq war
No to economic recession
No more tax cuts for the rich

I'm for Obama ... but no offense Hillary and/or Obama couldn't hold candle to her.

She has a depth of expereince even Hillary coudlnt make up... expect she has it for real. She is crazy smart and is straight spoke. Oh yeah BTW she happens to be a woman AND black!

A McCain/Rice ticket would be game over for the Dems.

She would not be a helpmeet to Senator Mc Cain. We are ready for Bush and his team to exit and we do not wish anyone still remaining.
The senator is struggling now being too close to the policies of the current President. Other than General Powell I think all the others are wished our best and our prayers and a hearty Good Bye.
The Secretary can run with Jeb Bush in the future but not right now.

Will this nightmare never end?!?!

Incompetence, Insincerity, Incorrigible are just a few of the insults this administration has been heaping on our good country ever since they got in office. Please, tell me we won't see ANYONE from this gang of losers. (except for maybe Powell and the first economics advisor that had to quit over Bush's crooked tax cuts) f

America will be happy when you just go, anywhere, just out of site and out of mind. You're a failure, just like your boss.

What a bummer. We really could have used her to expose Lil McBush as the warmonger he is. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb...Bomb, Bomb Iran.

Obama 08

She knows McCain can't win.

I still have no clue wher some of you people come up with some things, like....

Romney would be good for the economy because he knows his stuff...

WHAT IN THE WORLd ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Have you actuallu seen his governing economic record?

I swear one night I fell asleep and woke up in this "April fools day" where up is down, left is right, and the truth is no more than an inconvenience. I keep clicking my heels three times and saying "there's no place like home", but I'm just stuck in this Wizard of Oz world.

People please, for the love of all that is holly, have your heads checked?

Sen. Obama is critical of Sen. McCain for not providing a specific date of departure from Iraq. This demonstrates a rudimentary lack of military knowledge on the part of the freshman senator. No one can responsibly give such a timeline nor should they. Gen. Petraeus has wisely stated that warfare, particularly involving terrorism, is not a matter of arithmetic but of calculus. While the majority of Americans are understandably frustrated with the cost of life and treasure, they also appreciate the challenges and consequences at stake.

Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and other heavy-lifters in the Administration pushed Rice around a lot. A woman with her brains and education knew from the beginning that the Iraq War was based on a false premise (WMDs) and was pursued in an idiotic way. We need a person with a little more backbone. Dr. Rice belongs in academia.

I think Chris Rock said it best when he said.

Why do people ALWAYS want the person who could BEAT them to run for VICE President??

Said when Bush hinted at Colin Powell running for VP at one time.

CNN punks are reviewing every post and they dont want you to know the truth about the FEMA Concentration camps on youtube, there are 600 of them now.

They are Labor Camps to house Americans.

You have been warned

"McCain is the most straightforward candidate this country has seen in 50 years"

That was worth a belly laugh, thanks. Yes, McCain is straightforwardly for both sides of every position as long as you'll vote for him.

As for Rice, I imagine the folks at Stanford must feel like crawling into a hole every time her connection to that university appears in the media.

Condeleeza chose the wrong party to represent............................
and if she stands behind Bush and McCain again............
What is her legacy like right now if she walks away from THEM?
If she stands in agreement with them, I don't respect that.
The only one who had the balls to walk away because he didn't
like what he was seeing was Powell. He was the best of them all.
Powell, Richardson, had the balls to walk away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smart woman... we need more like her
Dont ruing your future on McCain, stick to your plans.

Obama fanatics, could you please control your comments and respect one another's ideologies.

Now that that's over with, Condi has had her 15 seconds of fame. McCain can move on with his campaign. There's still plenty of time for Hillary to be his VP after she concedes in two weeks. Maybe Mark Penn should be working for Bush. They share the same ideas.

Who admires this woman, she is a phony and a fraud.

She is always spotted at Saks fith avenue buying 10,000 dollar outdits.

She is a disgrace and is a sell out to African Americans.
She was not such hot crap when the woman protester walked up and got in her face, you could see the fear allover her face.

Is that who you want in office and admire, someone who is a coward.

She is a Bush cronie, and the only people that admire her are black woman that watch to much television. and think Oprah is god.........

CLUELESS

The only logical reason that Rice will not be on the ticket is because she will get flack from the Black community for stopping Obama.

As a member of the forgotten minority soon to be the majority I will not vote for Obama. My vote goes to the one person that believed in their country from day one. Senator John McCain.

Condi will suffer the same fate as I have for being a conservative Hispanic. The liberals will stop her from seeking higher office.

Liberals cannot handle successful minorities because it destroys their pre-conceived notion that we cannot make it without their help.
And it undermines their causes. Woe is me the poor (substitute your favorite minority)., The government has to help me.

hello to all voting democrats and cnn, the most objective political coverage channel that i have grown to love.....my comment is regarding Ms. rice dimissing the rumor of VP, i'm happy to hear so because I would feel more comfortable if the rumor was regarding Colin Powell for 1, and as a democrat now that I think about Clinton and Obama are so close that maybe they should consider running as a united front and whichever one does win presidency, the other should be VP....with their similar views to a cetain extent, I would trust either one, should the President have to step down for whatever reasons, thank 4 allowing me to post a comment...

Newburgh, New york

I don't think he would pick her as his VP unless she has a lobbyist background. Anyway, he has no chance of winning once the facts about him come out. Let’s see, he wants 100 more years in Iraq, doesn’t know about the economy and likes to chase lobbyist skirt. He has the worst qualities of the past two presidents we can do without.

Condoleezza Rice- U.S. Secretary of State who has accomplished nothing. Zero. A tool for the Bush administration. And she considers John McCain an extraordinary American. How disgraceful.

On the surface a McCain/Rice ticket seemed like a good idea, but then you saw it for what it really was. A desperate attempt by the Republicans to "create" this image of a party that represents the changing / diverse demographics of America. Condi is smart, she of all people understands that her presence on the ticket "does not a diverse party make." Get the "Welcome " sign out Stanford, Professor Rice is headed back.

Obama '08

Tyrone Brown
37th Legislative District State Delegate
Seattle, WA

The U.S. is already on the wrong track and Rice helped put us there. We should be investing our time and money in science and technology instead of war. John McCain has no innovative plans for the future of America and without that there will be no forward progress. Why does America want a president that will continue to take us backwards. We need to think about our children by planning now for their future to be competitive in the fast moving world of science and technology. Education is the only answer, not war.

A warmonger and a war criminal!...What a combo...Please put her on your ticket McCain...Isn't everyone fed up with this Bush regime yet???

To Darth Vadick
Some of these blogs are stupid. some are terribly hatefull. Some are actually reasonable comments. YOURS IS ACTUALLY DISGUSTING
Where do you get off calling Mrs. Rice a wretched evil woman?
You must have a very sick mind. She is not anything except an intelegent
woman doing the best she can under the pressure of a lousy president.
That is her job! Would you expect the secretary of state to run around the world telling everyone she was working for a moron?

It is amazing that United flight 93 with the heros that sacrificed and took down this plane in Shanksville are being dishonored by Obama's presence in that state. They lost their lives to protect the capital from being hit by that plane and Obama wants to be in that very same capital as president when he and his church blame America for 9/11.

In only 7 years we have already forgotten our fallen countrymen. What a disgrace.

She's never wanted it, has been saying it for months. What has she done that is so evil? Oh yea, main stream media said it so it must be true, fools!

Wise decision...........because the greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.

I completely agree with you Herman. Many people admire Condi, but wish that she wasn't stuck in Bush's administration. Bush used increadible talents like her and Powell to help sell America a phony bill of goods. Powell left the Bush administration on his own terms after realizing he had been used. I think Condi is smart enough to avoid all the "straight talk" comming from Bush and McCain. She won't be made into a spectacle like Powell was. I believe that she'll be casting her vote for Obama this fall, judging from the response she gave when they questioned her on Reverend Wright. Wouldn't it be great if she actually came out and endorsed him?!

I wish she would run... I wish she would be McCain's VP candidate... It would be the quickest way to ensure a Dem victory in November. PLEASE RUN CONDI RICE... Skip all the campaigning and we can just claim the Dem victory now.

Darth Vadik has great point about wretched evil creatures (although his evil-inspired screen name might lend a certain bias). Condo Rice is not just a disgrace to her race, or to women – she's a disgrace to human beings all around the world.

Puh-lease run, Condi, run! Let's have as the Republican Veep candidate the National Security Advisor, who weeks before 9/11 read the briefing "Bin Laden determined to strike inside America", and immediately acted by doing.... absolutely nothing.

She is a complete failure as both a NSA and Secretary of State. Name one single way in which the US is better off either as perception or in real terms as the result of anything she has done. She is the failure of Bush incarnate, and even mistakenly refered to GWB as her husband.

We don't NEED any more flied rice, you plick!

This lap dog of King George would COMPLETELY destroy ANY chance for the senile, warmonger McShane to get into the White House!

Unqualified. Won't be very welcomed back in the Stanford area!

At first I supported Hillary, then when I started to listen to Obama and compare, there was no contest. First of all, Hillary tell too many lies and she is not even i the whitehouse yet. She also have a fake and not genuiene look about her.

Rose fron NY.

Give her a break

I have much respect for Dr Rice, but I disagree with her policies. I don't think the Bush administration allowed her to really use her talents. She seemed to just really push the Bush administrations agenda, basically rubber stamping it. Again, this is a remarkable woman, but I don't think she would really help Senator McCain. Although very qualified (to me more than Senator Clinton), she is too closely tied to President Bush and Senator McCain seems to be backing off the Bush theme somewhat.

Darth Not-- one thing Condy did was successfully spell words
and so far we have not seen that mushroom she was spouting
out loud about...

Ms Rice knows that the NAACP and the NABJ would brand her a traitor to her people if she were to run and split Sen.Obama's African American vote in the General election. McCain will have great difficulty finding a principled African American to run as his VP.

I like the Stanford idea and she's right she does have a lot of work to do especially trying to use a bucket with GWB's face on it to put out the forest fire in the middle east. After her NSA tenure, the WMD debacle, Bush cronyism and her lack of personality I wouldn't trust her walking my dog!

The media is really making me sick during this campaign. The media has decided who "they" want to be the candidates, and then the news is totally slanted to try to make it happen. Does CNN (or any of the networks) think it makes them "cool" to so biasedly support "the first black" or better yet "the first black woman"? You might try using your brain instead of your ratings service to determine who the better candidates are. Better yet, you might try just reporting the news fairly and letting the people make their own decisions.

Being a Notre Dame alum, I would really like to like Condoleezza Rice, but she hasn't exactly shown me anything to make me think she's got the ability to be the VP. I personally don't think she's been worth a darn as Secretary of State as she has been totally ineffective. And she's been a total sell-out, because if you research her past, she's not who you would expect to find on the Bush team in the first place. She sold her soul for a "title" when she joined up with this administration. I'll bet you big money if Obama is elected, she'll switch teams in a heartbeat.

Reaching the pinnacle of mediocrity each day she wakes up and says "Oh wait, I am the Secretary of State, hee hee hee. Time to buy new shoes." Horror grips America. The surgical procedure of dumbing down of America is nearly complete. Let us eat cake... Stanford Alums collectively grit their teeth when her name is mentioned on television.

This is probably best for McCain and the Republicans. Its hard enough that John McCain will have to carry the burdon of supporting an unpopular war. Rice would only add to that burdon, since she was instrumental in "cooking the intelligence" that got us intot he war in the first place. At least Powell had the integrity to resign his post as Sec. of State – apparently she has none.

I would vote for :
Obama for President,
Condi for Vice President (after all, once she was a Democrat),
Colin Powell as Secretary of Defense and
Rev. Wright as White House pastor (a new Cabinet position).

Anybody who does not like this team is a declared racist...

She was crucial in deceiving Congress and the American people into believing all the hype about Iraq and WMDs, just she now repeats that shame with Iran, which consistently is cleared by the IAEA. She is a war criminal plain and simple with no business being considered for ANY post in our badly damaged government.

Wow, so it is true, only Democrats watch CNN.

A Female Dick Cheney to partner with a Geoge Bush clone[Mccain]. We will be at war until there is no more America. Can you imagine these two war mongers hiding or not reading documents that were made available before an attack. It would be great to have an accomplice you could depend on to deceive the american people. GEORGE BUSH ADMIN SEQUEL.

Thank God, she says nothing except what she is told to read. Puppets

Pls. Sen. McSame choose her.

Pls. link yourself to this current corrupt Adm. and his/her failed policies!

Talk about tone deaf!

GOBAMA

What a disaster that would be..McCaines best bet would be Romney,

Romney is best for economy.

Awwww..... I was hoping to see a Charles Manson / Condi Rice option on the GOP ticket this November. Bummer....

please run condi, dems can definitely link mccain to bush politics if u run as veep. i don't believe mccain can beat obama anyway, but if he runs with condi, he can't beat hilary.

She'd be a great VP & President.

Thank goodness

MCcain/Rice 08 Good new!!!

Name one thing, just one thing, that this wretched evil woman has done that was succesfull, and then compare her to Madeline Albreight.

Have we forgoten that once upon a time, some of our cabinet positions actually yielded positive results, and it wasn't under these creatures we have right now.

This could cynically be a trial balloon, or it could have been Dan Senor and others in the Bush Administration strong-arming John McCain with the all the grace & efficiency learned from Enron, Katrina, Financial & Housing Markets Collapse. It all depends on your point of view.

If memory serves, Ms.Rice was the Richard Clarke's gatekeeper and kept him from DOING HIS JOB by stonewalling Mr Clark's many efforts to report alarming findings to the new President. That alone would tank John McCain's pursuit of the Presidency.

Rice is equal to the task.

She is better than Mccain.

Oh.. I for one will encourage mccain to choose a blk vp if Obama is the nominee. And Obama should choose a white female vp to counter attack mccain.

It has to be mixed this time for the white house. Mccain will have a lot to gain if he chose a black vp and Obama will gain a little if he chose a white female vp.

That case the race will be very tight again. But Obama will come out narrow win over Mccain come November.
No Hillary she can't win at this point.

Yes and we were dismissing Rice, too many carbs!

I keep telling you people, McCains VP "choice" is going to be the Prince od Darkness himself Dick Cheney.

That's what McCain needs, a war criminal on the ticket. You betcha!

Thank goodness, that is all we need is two war mongers on the same ticket.......

Speculation speculation speculation.

Eveyone makes out every little move to be more than it is.

If she attends a meeting with conservative leaders, she must be cozying up to them for the VP slot.

If she announces her intention to go back to Stanford, she must be hiding something.

Why doesn't anyone ever believe things are the way they seem? Not everyone has an alterior motive. McCain is the most straightforward candidate this country has seen in 50 years – the man isn't capable of an alterior motive.

She is such a scapegoat, blame me for everything its all my fault and she has no self respect

I hope you run and sign the death warrant for Republicans in 2008

God, please don't get a vp offer, ill drop my support for Mccain that instant. He needs are far right evangelical leader who is also good with the economy and can win over more of the conservative base. He doesn't need Condi Rice... thats just more for the democrats to gripe over how similar he is to Bush.

Stanford's probably hoping for a run to keep her away from campus.

Speaking as a resident who lives close to Stanford, please stay away, Condi. We really don't like you here.

Good choice I just hope you stick to it Condoleezza Rice don't get your self in Bush & McCain mess any longer leave with the dignity that you have and you will be most respected because all they are trying to do is use you against your brother Barack and to try and split the black vote.

Obama 08!!!

McBush/Yoo 2008

A pair of Johns who love torture!

Condoleeza and Hillary are like peas in a pod. The difference is that Hillary has more experience as a professional liar.

Good for her... She is not going to be used to destroy Barack's chances of winning. Many people of color would hate her for that. Rice is a very smart woman. She is going to also vote for OBAMA, same as Powell. why? Because he is brillant and has everything else this country needs.

Thank you Condoleeza. It is comforting to know that the least effect National Security Advisor in in recent memory will NOT be in the running for VP. Lets hope that John McCain will pick a moderate who is younger, intelligent, and not a warmonger to be running mate. Please pick a candidate who will also be acceptable to Democrats because if Obama gets the Democratic nomination there will be a lot of Democrats looking to vote for McCain.

That is sad. She really needs to be the VP and then the first women president. Dare to dream America.

Once again Condi is showing us how smart she really is...

I must say again:

It is irrelevant what both McCain and Rice say today regarding the VP
issue. This for the time being is only a TEST BALLOON launched to calibrate the potential voters reaction !!

TOM ALBO

Please make her sign it in blood – I don't trust anything this woman says.

NO... PLEASE, CONDI..... RUN...!

That would make this SOOOOO much easier...

1) you are an "unacceptable republican" to many in the part. (not MY words... It's what was said when COLIN POWEL considered...)

2) you would link McCain to Bush, which would be like pennies from Heaven....

Please, Condi.... RUN !!!

We don't care. Rice is "ONE OF THEM," It won't matter one way
or another who HE chooses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dumbest of Democrats will vote for MCCain and he knows
it. It would like shooting yourself in the foot if you vote for Hillary
or McCain, both liars and opportunists.

Insead of going back to Sanford. Maybe she should get a job at a deuling piano bar.

To bad for McBush. He can't win anyway.

Go OBAMA 08

Perhaps Clinton wants to bowl you for your tenured position.

Good move as far as I am concerned. She is too aligned with Bush and she truly does not want to be on a loosing team.

It's not like McCain will win anyways....
