How long before they get to hating Rice?

[4est_4est_Gump]

America’s first black female secretary of state is quietly positioning herself to be the top choice of the eventual Republican presidential nominee, ready to deliver bona fide foreign-policy credentials lacking among the candidates. The 56-year-old has recently raised her profile, releasing her memoir in November and embarking on a monthlong book tour.

After 2 1/2 years as a professor at Stanford, Miss Rice is reportedly getting “antsy” to get back into the political game. “She’s ready to go,” said one top source.

Ready indeed. She still rises at 5:30 a.m. and runs through a vigorous P90X workout. (Her guns are now a match for those of first lady Michelle Obama.) Sure, she’s been playing a lot of golf, and no doubt banging on the piano (sometimes with cellist Yo-Yo Ma), but she’s clearly ready for more.

Her addition to the ticket, which wouldn’t come until late next summer, would dramatically change the dynamics of the 2012 election. As a black woman - her family has roots in the Deep South stretching back to before Civil War era, and worked as sharecroppers after emancipation - she would mute Democrats’ charges of racism among conservatives, especially tea party members. And her sex would likely prompt moderate women to take a serious look at the Republican ticket.

Plus, her selection would be a giant chess move to counter the expected replacement of Vice President Joseph R. Biden with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Sure, the White House denies and denies, but that should really make any political watcher more suspicious. One White House insider even told me that the position swap was the only reason Mrs. Clinton joined the administration in the first place.

Those Racist Republicans just can't get away from using race as a weapon!

A bunch of silly assumptions in that article.

"she would mute Democrats’ charges of racism among conservatives, especially tea party members"

Any more than having a black RNC chairman or a black Presidental frontrunner did?

"And her sex would likely prompt moderate women to take a serious look at the Republican ticket."

Any more than Sarah Palin did?

That said, I think she might do ok. Not because of race or gender, but because of name recognition, political experience, the media savvy that comes with it, and being (I think) reasonably sane. Her tour in the national spotlight so far was pretty much tainted by a foreign policy doctrine dictated by Cheney. If she can show off different sides, she'd be an asset.

North Korea, even without Kim, will always love rice.

Miss Rice would be a solid choice as a running mate. She has close ties to the oil industry, which would be missing from the current crop of candidates (except Rick Perry), not to mention foreign policy experience. Don't forget, she was National Security Advisor during the largest terrorist attack on US soil in history.

I too think she'd be an excellent choice for VP

First Rice would be attacked as the media and the proffesession african american haters( Jackson, Sharpeton and Ford) do.

But she would be an excellent choice as Romney will be the nominee and his weakness would be foriegn policy.

And as Rice is a far better role model than Obama and his wife, she actiually earned her sucess.

No down side.
