Would You Like Some Rice with your McCain?
Yeah, that’s just what we need. Rice, who is the leader of one of the most ineffectual organizations in America, was at one point universally loved and adored on the right. But then she started to mellow out and drifted towards the left. I don’t know if that change was brought about by her helmsmanship of what is basically the Department of Peace or if it was just something that happens to many with convictions who go to DC. Whatever the reason for her slipping towards the left she has slipped.
Here’s some of the information from ABC News’ Political Radar Blog:
ABCNews’ Mary Bruce Reports: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is actively courting the vice presidential nomination, Republican strategist Dan Senor said.
“Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this,” Senor said this morning on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”
According to Senor, Rice has been cozying up to the Republican elite.
There are a couple of reasons why she will not be the VP nominee.
One: like I was saying before, she’s not a conservative.
Two: She doesn’t have experience dealing with the economy - a weak spot for McCain.
Three: I seriously doubt her being black and female will help McCain get more votes. She’s seen as one of the standard bearers (by the left) of the George W. Bush legacy and the left has succeeded in painting that legacy as hateful of blacks (Katrina being the foremost example).
At one point I would have been happy if she were our presidential nominee. However, times change and so do people. McCain needs to pick someone with unimpeachable conservative credentials. Preferably a young governor. He can’t pick someone who is a bureaucrat, no matter how successful they have been. BigT
