/dev/null Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.html I've been speculating this for a couple weeks now. People I mention it to keep telling it won't happen. Picking Biden shored up Obama's foreign policy creds in '08. Condi shores up Romney's foreign policy creds. Condi is a known quantity so the Media can't Palin her. Couple that with Condi being both black and a woman, and many a Lefty's head would explode.

Heck, espn was discussing her as a possible head of this new playoff committee the NCAA is batting around for football. She's a popular name for "credibility."

dayman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 My guess is only as good as the next mans, but I think it's been Rubio for months. Provided he came back clean which I'm sure he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Condi has been saying all along that she's not a politician but a policy person. Actually her dream job is NFL Commissioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that really thinks Biden enhanced Obama's "creds" is delusional... Face it... PBO was going to win even if he chose the master of foot in mouth disease... like good ole Joe... My guess is only as good as the next mans, but I think it's been Rubio for months. Provided he came back clean which I'm sure he did. Rubio should back off for now... he's too young, and while no one cares, the natural born citizen thing still needs explaining... Condi has been saying all along that she's not a politician but a policy person. Actually her dream job is NFL Commissioner. She actually borrowed that from a politician that dragged me into politics years ago.... I've since been "saved" and live a "normal" life, but Jack Kemp was an inspiration to a lot of people besides just me.... He coined that phrase years ago stating that NFL Commissioner was where the real power was!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be too young, too racially diverse, or too woman as a VP these days. After all nobody picks a VP based off an actual replacement for President anymore anyway. It's pure politics, the office is even more a joke now than it has been for the previous 200+ years. The Presidents attack dog/ticket-balancing-act who just so happens to do his bidding in the event of a vote tie in Senate. But I guess in the case of Bush it's Presidents personal "ask Jeeves."

WorldTraveller Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 As appealing of a pick she may be, she won't be the one. She's not enough of an attack dog and she's "moderately" pro choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking VP picks, Bush had one that contradicts what I was talking about. Are you this up tight in all aspects of your life?

Koko78 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Wow, the libtards around here really can't get past the fact that it's not 2008, and refuse to understand that Oblambam can't run against Bush anymore. Morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm thinking it's either Portman to help with a crucial Ohio, or my personal favorite current guv, Susanna Martinez, even tho in the media she's sworn off any hope or desire to be veep (those things are always subject to change if / when the nominee calls). Highly doubt Condi. I don't think Romney wants such a direct connection as that. I'm not sure he really needs a veep to lend foreign policy cred... just one that has a history of talk AND action re: certain of the red-meat issues. To wit, Romney has a Europe jaunt scheduled for later this month to flex the FP muscles. Not sure this would be necessary if he were planning on running with Condi. Important for him to have these introductions and re-introductions, no doubt tho, to show and remind Americans that it's not just Obama who can speak with other countries. (And gosh, would be nice after four years to not have a leader apologizing, bowing and kissing *). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Rice would be an interesting choice, but I am pretty sure she is on record as saying she has no interest in the position... but leaking that she is being considered scores points for Romney...I personally think Rubio would decline... not sure how much this will matter when he chooses Tim Pawlenty!

truth on hold Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Couple that with Condi being both black and a woman, and many a Lefty's head would explode. Her sexual orientation I would think will be revealed too. If it turns out she's gay that will complete the triple play Edited July 13, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
