Shoe Shopper Actively Campaigning for McCain VP Post.... Rawstory Headline LINK
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 01:05 AM by Blackhatjack

"On ABC's This Week, Republican strategist Dan Senor said that Condoleezza Rice has been actively campaigning to be John McCain's pick for Vice President.

Speaking of possible Vice President options for McCain, Senor said, "Condi Rice is an option. Tom Ridge is an option. Although, I think he'd have problems at the convention. Mitt Romney is an option. Condoleezza Rice has been actively campaigning for this. There's this ritual in Washington, The Americans for Tax Reform which is headed by Grover Norquist, holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders, about 100 or 150 people. Sort of inside chattering class types and they all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice."

Senor, whose most notable experience was as spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, later added, it was "the first time a Secretary of State has visited the Wednesday meeting. and she wasn't there to talk about the NATO meeting in Bucharest."

George Will, who was also on the panel discussion, said he too thought Rice could be a possible choice. "It is possible," said Will. "In fact, I guess I'm not talking out of school when I say in our green room last week when Senator Lieberman was on he said, well, perhaps Condi and of course Lieberman is very close."

4. They must be mistaken...
She said she wanted nothing more than to go home to CA and live her normal life.

Condi ALWAYS tells us the truth -- doesn't she? Doesn't she?

5. We'll she's gonna have trouble finding work after 1/20/09
Her skill set is useless. Who's hiring Sovietologists these days?

I don't think the gold-plated rubber chicken crowd wants her.

So getting on the ticket with the Big Mac is basically her only chance to avoid Hamburger Helper Helper and I Can't Believe It's Not Ramen.

6. The fact that a former nat'l security advisor ...
... and the current SoS can be referred to as The Shoe Shopper - and everyone gets the reference immediately - speaks volumes about her viability as a VP.

I figured Obama was a shoe-in - pun very much intended - long before now. But if McCain is even thinking about adding Condi to the GOP ticket, Michelle can start choosing what to wear to the Inaugural Ball first thing tomorrow morning.

7. Any way you look at it --either by intention or incompetence, she cost people their lives...
And she would have the audacity to 'actively campaign' for the VP position on the GOP ticket?

I'd love to hear the questions about 911, torture, corruption, Sibel Edmonds, etc. The Democratic Strategists would have a hard time deciding what to highlight --it is all so far beyond just bad.

Like so many others in the Bush Administration she should be wearing an orange jumpsuit and jail issued flip-flops.

10. Not to mention the fact that ...
... judging from comments about her on the RW message boards, she's not exactly popular on their side of the aisle.

Condi for VP! Puleeze!

9. And what in the world are the racists going to do if Obama is the
Dem nominee and Condi is McCain's VP pick?

Heads will be exploding all over the place!

13. "And what was the title of that Memo regarding Bin Laden before 911 ?"
Add to that so many gaffees captured on videotape and you could throw together a 'highlights' piece that would sink her in a New York minute.

There is very little chance McCain would pick her to run as his VP, but we can always hope....

14. Here is one the shoe shopper won't be answering....
"The media has been loath to ask questions about a revelation by a Washington Post reporter who revealed that real estate documents show she co-owned a home and shared a credit line with a woman at Stanford."

17. Condi as VP is scary, but Condi stepping in as President should be terrifying...
There is every reason to believe that McCain likely would not finish out his term of office given his age.

Just stop and think what having 'the shoe shopper' in the Oval Office would mean --not only for our country, but the rest of the world.

Totally unqualified to hold the office. Period.
