Drudge Report Lists Condi Rice as Top Romney VP Candidate

[AJTheMan]

30. Another Holdover from Bush? Surprising!

Mitt Romney recently released his National Security/Foreign Policy advisers. Almost every single one of them were advisers under President Bush.

In other words:

All told, Romney lists 37 holdovers from the George W. Bush administration — the very same administration he and all other Republican candidates barely referenced during their many debates because it was so discredited and toxic, even to the Republican base.

You can see Governor Romney's entire Foreign Policy team here.

Here's a list of Romney Foreign Policy advisers who are holdover from President Bush Jr.:
Cofer Black -- Security Advisor to President Bush, VP of Blackwater
Christopher Burnham -- Undersecretary to Sec.Condi Rice
Michael Chertoff -- Sec. of Homeland Security under President Bush, Co-Author of Patriot Act
John Danilovich -- Ambassador to Costa Rica for President Bush
Paula Dobriansky -- Undersecretary for President Bush
Eric Edelman -- Undersecretary for President Bush
Michael Hayden -- Director National Security, Director of CIA under President Bush
Kim Holmes -- Heritage Foundation Foreign Policy Chief
Robert Joseph -- Adviser to President Bush on Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq
Andrew Natsios -- Special Envoy to the Sudan under President Bush
Meghan O'Sullivan -- Director for Iraq at the National Security Council under President Bush
Pierre Prosper -- Ambassador under President Bush
Mitchell Reiss -- Director of Policy Planning under Secretary Colin Powell
Dan Senor -- Adviser to President Bush on Iraq and the Middle East
Vin Weber -- Campaign Adviser to President Bush
Richard Williamson -- Ambassador to the United Nations under President Bush
Dov Zakheim -- Special Advisor on Foreign Policy to President Bush, Heritage Foundation fellow.

If that looks like almost his entire team, that's because it is. Almost his entire team is composed of veteran neo-con Bush era Foreign Policy wonks.

To hear that Governor Romney is considering yet another Bush era official, Secretary Rice, comes to no surprise at all. What is truly surprising is that while you will never hear Romney utter any words about President Bush, you see that his entire foreign policy team is made up of Bush veterans, you see that he is raising money right now with Dick Cheney, Vice President under George W. Bush, and you see that Condileeza Rice is on his shortlist for Vice Presidential contenders.

My fellow DUers, if it walks like a Bush, talks like a Bush, and quacks like a Bush, then by science, it's a Bush.
