I admit I don't know a whole heck of lot about her, but... doesn't sound like such a bad play.

How'd that work out last time when they went with a game changing, make-a-statement pick?
Juan is right that she is infinitely more qualified than the previous bimbo

I think you answered the question right there. I wouldn't put Rice and Palin in anywhere near the same league.

No doubt, but the "shock" factor is about the same to me. Not to mention the obvious transparency of the pick (McCain trying to capture disenfranchised Hillary voters, Romney trying to quell the "war on women" and the party of white guy problems).
V00D00BR3W:
Just think, if the GOP trots out a second female VEEP pick in a row and loses again, they can deftly paint the Democrats as being the real party of sexists!

Condy is a bad ass and Mittens would be wise to ask her... She would be dumb to go along... IMO...

This is the Etch-a-Sketch candidate recognizing that some of his positions will be unpopular with moderates and independents, and he's not going to win the election talking about them. He's just going to try and hammer away at the economy the entire time and take the opposite of whatever Obama's foreign-policy positions are. This is his "failed presidency" narrative. Only the most calloused homophobe would consider "endorses gay marriage" to be part of Obama's "failure" as a president.
But yeah, I think it's bullshit for a candidate for national office to refuse to talk about issues that enjoy (any level of) national prominence.
