Condi Rice for VP?

Seriously? Apparently, Condoleeza Rice is currently leading the way in polls for the vice presidential slot with Romney: FreeP (according to a CNN/ORC poll). Luckily for Romney, Rice has she has no intentions of joining the ticket -- as she is largely linked to the Bush presidency and its many failures (including her rather unimpressive, prevaricating testimony before the 911 Commission). Others at the top of polls include New Jersey's rotund and vitriolic governor Chris Christie, the anti-immigrant Latino Senator from Florida Mark Rubio and House Budget Chairman, and radical anti-government rhetorist, Paul Ryan. I think all of these choices would be good for Democrats, as each is polarizing to important constituents -- Christie to anyone with a brain and a sense that unions and teachers aren't evil, Rubio ironically to many Latino who see his anti-illegal-immigrant stance as an attack on his entire race and Ryan to anyone who is sane. One hopes one of this mix rises to the cream of the crop. The problem for Romney is most have claimed they have no interest in the slot, maybe sensing that the candidate who seems unable to say what he means or mean what he says will have a hard time beating Obama. It might also be that their own future ambitions would be hurt by signing on with a candidate who seems to embody much of what America is looking to change -- an entitled, East Coast moderate who has a history that seems too closely tied to Wall Street's role in screwing up the U.S. and global economies. But who knows in this insane campaign milieu?
