Picking Condaliar Rice would only prove how shallow and desperate the rethugs are

5. They won't.

1. She's black.
2. She's female.
3. She's never been married.
4. She's on record as pro-choice.
5. She carries the taint of George Bush.

If she were just female that's one thing, but she's never been married, and that makes her suspect. Also, she's black. Does anybody really think the GOPers would pick a black running mate? It's fine to play the game of pretending not to be bigoted by "allowing" a black person to run in the primary, but seriously, folks. A black woman on the GOP ticket? The wingnut base wouldn't stand for it. Bad enough there's a black man in the White House now, but a black woman a heartbeat away? Nuh uh, they won't have any of that.

And she'd have to explain to the wingnuts why she isn't married (could she be...you know...?), and why she was pro-choice (she'd have to disavow that position in a hurry), and then there's the taint of George Bush...

Not gonna happen. Anyhow, she's already said she didn't want to do it.
