I received the email from the Romney campaign about "Meet the VP!" Yes, we are days or weeks away from the big announcement.
I would like Paul Ryan. Or Tim Pawlenty or Rob Portman or even Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio. The latest candidate du jour? Condi Rice.
Bill Kristol discussed this prospect a week ago. After the Drudge headline, Peggy Noonan jumps in, too. Condi has huge positives (80%!) and does not seem tampered by her long association with the Bush Administration. Net negatives? Her mild pro-choice stance, and she has never run for elective office. And Dick Cheney was not a fan. Conservatives really won't love it.
But she is smart and tough, and the first female VP being a black woman? Well, if we can't have Janice Rogers Brown on the Supreme Court, would this do?
We shall see, sooner rather than later, won't we?
