Condi Rice And The Vice Presidency…

In a word: no.
Making the rounds today is another article that discusses Condi Rice and the vice presidency. Today’s buzz is generated by the same information in a report from late March. It’s honestly a nonstory for two reasons: 1) the entire notion that Condi is actively seeking the VP is based on very little substantive information and 2) it wouldn’t matter anyway, since she wouldn’t be picked by McCain.
So then why are bloggers discussing it as though it could be true/likely? I have no idea.
Move along people, there’s definitely nothing to see here…

We’re talking about it because she wouldn’t be meeting with groups like Norquist’s if she didn’t have broader political aspirations. Come on, you know how this game is played…
I think it’s one thing to note the meeting and it was properly noted back in March.
There really isn’t any reason why today’s ABC story should be getting the coverage that it is getting other than the fact that Drudge linked to it and way too many bloggers/pundits/press folks are too afraid to analyze information for themselves, so they just repeat and before long it becomes a undeserved serious story.
I’m curious why you included the word “broader.”
Political aspirations? Sure. No doubt. But why necessarilly broader, and if so, why has she taken exactly one meeting?
Moreover, how is Grover Norquist - the Sisyphus of the GOP if there is one - going to influence McCain to make a choice McCain almost certainly does not want to make.
Ignoring obvious questions… I don’t recommend it.
