A CNN public opinion poll was taken in recent days.
Public opinion, obviously sent "the names that the average American recognizes" to the top of the list. The average American has never heard of Rob Portman so he was well down the list.
The #1 choice among those polled, for GOP V.P. nominee for Romney, was Condoleezza Rice.
Supposed he did choose her.
(a prediction site gives her, as of today, a 3% chance of being chosen by Romney)
And suppose Romney could not serve out his term.
In 2016 you could have Rice vs. Hillary Clinton (one of the Democratic favorites for 2016).
No it won't happen, but it could.

This has got to be one of the most moot point postings I have ever seen. Rice has no intentions of doing anything in politics again, and it is unlikely Hillary will either, so what difference does this make? So a prediction site gives her a 3% chance, that means there is a 97% chance he will not ask her. BTW name recognition when running for VP means nothing.

I think the odds of Hillary 2016 are even lower than Romney-Rice 2012. According to Game Change she was exhausted and frazzled by the 2008 campaign and really did not want to take the SOS job when Obama offered it. If she ran and won in 2016 she would be almost 70 upon taking office.

If Hillary Clinton is the Democrat nominee, she's just as radical as Obama. She's no Bill Clinton. |

Rice won't do s@@t for Romney, nevermind running on her own in the future.
I'm looking for some Liberty in my future. Rand Paul 2016!

The public recognizes Donald Trump and Paris Hiltons name as well.
Its irrelevant. Which is of course, is why CNN is talking about it. Disinformation rules the MSM. |
