i have my doubts that white republicans would be enthused about a black vp, especially a female one.

they threw her under the bus toward the end of bushs run.

What an absurd thread title as well as its contents. This is a classic troll thread.

About 30 to 40 percent would but that is it and she had better be perfect.

Educated. Experienced. And Stanford no less! Who cares if she's black. Or even a "she".

Contrary to the Huff Po play book, we don't care about race or gender.

Of COURSE they'd back Condi! Republicans are very equal-opportunity when it comes to making terrible political choices.

I love some of these boneheads around here discounting Rice for being part of a "failed" administration.....yet in the next breath state they're voting for Obama in Nov. Comedians, all.

i would back dr rice not only as VP, but as president as well. she is intelligent, and tough, and she is conservative.

Points against her:

1. Not an extremist
2. Not a moron
3. Not a man
4. Not white

Someone with a couple of those things can still win (see: Allen West, who can win despite being black, because he's also an extremist idiot). She's the whole package of things the GOP base hates.

IIRC W Bush was not 100% pro-life. He supported the exception in the case of rape or incest. It was never an issue. Nor was it an issue when Rice (and Powell) were placed in the line of presidential succession. I never heard anyone even mention it.

It might have been a problem in the R primaries, but the R primaries are over.

Condi Rice has called herself 'a Second Amendment absolutist.' I think that is much more significant in this election cycle.

Teabaggers love servile black people so they'd love to see Condi in there. They can promote her as "one of the good ones" as the righties on this forum are doing with that Mormon nutjob Mia Love who is being promoted merely because of the color of her skin.
