They likely will not pick her because she's said NO six ways to Sunday already, but they throw her name out there like meat to a pack of dogs, hoping, hoping, hoping like hell that the media will grab that juicy, meat laden bone and run off to do feature/speculation stories on her (and of course, in so doing, they'd forget about all the other, far more interesting, stuff--gee, that didn't work too well, did it?).

And why the "black" "woman?" Well, he just came off a major asswhipped booing at the NAACP, and he wants to suggest that he's willing to "out-minority" the Dems.

Condi may be a Bush slobberer, but she didn't move up in the world by being a total idiot. I'll bet she's got her track shoes on, the better to run like hell from Mittsy. Being the first black Republican woman on the ballot for VP is a pale historical footnote--she's already made her mark, for good or ill (and we lean towards the latter) on history--why cheapen it by hitching one's wagon to a loser?
