On guns she is GREAT.

On Arabs, she is horrible. She continues to want to reward the Arabs in Gaza and West Bank with statehood, even though they have never ceased their rocket and terrorist attacks on Israel. Like Clinton, W, and Cheney, she is beholden to Arab money.

In addition, is it a good idea for McCain to tie himself to W's administration? I doubt it. Even conservatives don't want a Bush III administration. If the Dems weren't so bad, I'd probably sit our this election.

For background, I'm a conservative from Georgia.

Not too sure on this... But it would be a great contrast. Self-made Condi versus the Jeremiah Wright G Damn America Victimhood campaign.

It would also drive the liberals insane. The first black VP. The first female VP. A twofer.

She needs executive experience before being considered.

I don't think Condi would attract much if any of the black vote. She doesn't feel enough of their pain and she doesn't (I don't think) understand the victimhood issue. Also she is identified with Bush and that means the libs would just trash her.

Alright, Condi ... go for it.

I am for whatever it takes to help MCCAIN win in November ....

I am the 28% of Hillary supporters who want MCCAIN to win in November.

Whatever it takes, Condi ... whatever it takes ...

The Presidency is so important to us ... We love the good U. S. A

If Obama is the Democratic nominee, Republicans NEED to win the White House.

I dont think a MCCAIN/LIEBERMAN or a MCCAIN/ROMNEY ticket will do it.
Obama talks too well and worms himself in to the young and vulnerable.
It is the young that is so taken in ..
The young are naive, impressionable and idealistic.

She is too tied to Bush to be a great VP choice for McCain. If I were McCain I would say no thanks.

DaveD, to say that Condi doesn't understand the black experience betrays an ignorance concerning her personal history. She grew up in segregated Alabama, and lost four of her childhood playmates in the Birmingham church bombing.

She certainly was exposed to much more of the Rev. Wright type African American experience growing up than Obama ever was being raised by a white parent and going to school in Hawaii. And her childhood experience does not seem to have done to her what it did to Rev. Wright; it just influenced her to strive harder to excell, which she did.

Just what McCain doesn't need--more evidence that electing him would only mean a third Bush term. Good grief! Everything that Condi and Bush have done regarding foreign policy has been a disaster. Why in the world, with all the other better options, would McCain want to go with her?? Democrats would love the opportunity to further pair McCain and the Bush team.

One has to remember that she replaced Colin Powell because he used some common sense.

She on the other hand is just a mouth piece for George Bush and his failed policies.

I think McCain would do better to ask Colin Powell to be VP. I would vote for Colin if he was running for president. Sorry Obama, your just not vetted enough and what I've seen doesn't impress me at all.

DaveD,

The young are impressionable - are you kidding me? It is the old who vote a straight party line and voted for George Bush - Twice.

"All I remember of Ms. Condoleeza is Katrina. This witch was shopping and seeing overhyped musicals. I blame her parents, who shielded her from the horrors of the Civils Rights movement. Not once did she think of halting her holiday to address this disaster. Screw her." I have seen this type of comment numerous times... I am still baffled by what the Secretary of State ( The Foreign Minister )..would have to do with Hurricane Katrina.

I had the good fortune of listening in person to a talk Secretary Rice gave for 30 minutes without one note, one um, huh, and or other filler word. She can command attention in a room with her oratory and her story is a stark contrast to that of the Privileged upbringing of Barack Obama.

I like Rice. She is another brave woman. I will for sure support her. Colin Powell is another good choice as McCain's vice president.

I would have considered Obama, but his pastor's hateful talks made me totally disgusted about ever voting for Obama. Obama should have at least protested or done something to his pastor within the past 20 years, but I assume he never ever tried.

I am one of Hillary's supporters who will vote for McCain in Nov. However, McCain needs to show us his ability in Economy and other social developmental issues. Or at a minimum, some of his economic advisers would have the ability to make our lives better.

Meanwhile, I reserve my right to still vote for Clintons.

Condi Rice? You must be joking!
She is a disgrace. Not only is she an apologist for the misguided U.S. foreign policy but has been personally responible for the senseless waste of many American and Arab lives.

great idea..can't wait to have a third bush term

How shallow are we? Do I tihnk Obama is a racist. No, I do, however, question his judgement. Look at his chice of associations which include a well known socialist, a crooked investor, a husband a wife team who actually decleared war on America and still show no remorse. Obama has chosen to bring his daughters, his litle punishments, into a church where hate was spewed and never stood against those words of hate. Give me Colin Powell or Condi Rice. Sure Condi isn't perfect but she at least has a clue. Barak has no judgement and I fear no true love of America as we know it. He is too close to socialism for my comfort.

This would be the very best good news for the Democrats. She is tatally tied to the Bush's mess and not bring in a single vote from the African-American or women.

I will consider voting for John McCain if Obama is on the democratic ticket. My other option would be not to vote at all. If Condi is on the Republican ticket with John McCain, I would definitely vote McCain/Rice.

WaytoGo and Sandy A, you want a 3rd term of WBush-Cheney-McCain go for it, as you may know Hill the Bosnian General is already a very good friend of McCain, so nobody will be surprised to see you and your losing candidate letting down the democrats for the Republicans with Cinderella or not on McCain's ticket. May be a McCain/Hill ticket will even be a better ticket for you. That is an super unstoppable ticket. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

I thought she said in was not in her genes.I guess Bush told her she better do it. I thought McCain was an expert on foreign policy,why would he need the secretary of state to compliment him on the ticket? Isn't the VP pick suppose to compliment the nominee? I guess the republican party needs some color.
