Drudge Report: Condi Rice near top of VP list

        About the only interesting thing in the Presidential race is musing who Mitt Romney will pick as a running mate, even though history shows the selection will make little difference in the end result.
        Current speculation centers around Ohio Senator Robert Portman, for Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and for something more interesting, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
         Rice would be an interesting selection. Smart, popular, experienced with the office....but does she want the job ?  

         A Rice selection would jazz up the race, but she would be the a target as well, due to her links to Bush Administration foreign policy. She also would underscore the race card Democrats like to play.
          One HOTLINE caller recently said any black American who votes for Romney is a "traitor to their heritage".  Democrats expect loyalty from their number one and most loyal constituency.
           I still think the VEEP choice will be Portman or Pawlenty as both men are very much like Mr. Romney.  I don't think Mitt will attempt to stir up the race with his selection.
