We'll either have an African Amercan as president, or a female VP. We've come a long way, baby!

Saw a video she put together explaining the ANWAR Oil drilling problem. She is a straight shooter, I like her, smart lady, pulls no punches. I think Romney should be the one, might be able to help with our economic problems.

I like what I'm hearing about her.

I must admit I'd be surprised if he pics her. Alaska isn't exactly an important state for electoral votes. I do like her though, she's pretty, from my home state, and she speaks her mind. Still, I don't think her credentials are up to par.

surprise pick but a logical one...Condi Rice.

Condi Rice is too "Bush". The dems would pounce on that.

More Bush than McCain? I think she would be a "draw card" for race and gender from the Obama ticket, especially the die-hard Hillary supporters who would rather vote GOP than vote Obama.

A pandering pick for sure. And what will it get them. Women voters who are undecided?.....Independant voters who own guns? Straight-shooting tough-talking women have to tread very carefully. I dont see a landslide of new voters coming to the Republican side.

I understand the press will hammer this pick. However, I think they will underestimate her warm spunky personality and sharp wit. I believe she can win over many, once America gets a chance to know her.

Rice or Palin?

Joe Biden is going to eat her alive in a debate. It's over. Mccain picked someone with less experience then Obama.

Sry, I meant Sarah.

Rice is brilliant, but she has an extremely cold personality, I don't think she'd complement McCain.
