The latest subject of Mitt Romney’s Veepstakes speculation is a familiar face and someone who insists she doesn’t want the job: Condoleezza Rice.

The Drudge Report stirred up the latest buzz Thursday night by reporting that Romney is seriously considering Rice as a potential running mate.

Drudge noted that Rice spoke at a gathering of top Romney donors in Utah last month, where she received two standing ovations from an adoring crowd. He said she also emailed supporters in recent days that the 2012 elections “loom as one of the most important in my lifetime."

Their source is the Drudge Report, so it's not really the most reliable source, but it's interesting nonetheless. I have to wonder how much race played into this. Anytime someone criticizes a Republican for being racist, they can come back with "Nu uh, we have a black VP."

I actually got to meet Mrs. Rice during the Super Bowl this year. She is an incredibly nice and sincere person. I hate much of her policy, but it's much more difficult to hate her after spending 15 minutes talking to her. I do find it surprising that Romney would consider bringing in someone from the Bush administration. I would think that he would want to distance himself as much as possible from Bush. However, Condi seems to be the one person who escaped much of the criticism of the Bush administration.
