Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is speaking this morning to Grover Norquist's weekly powerhouse gathering at Americans for Tax Reform of conservative associations, think tanks, and political operations.

At the semi-secret gatherings which Republican political hopefuls migrate to to get the blessing of not only Norquist but the diverse parts of the nation's conservative money and political machinery, Norquist gives everyone in the room 3 minutes to pitch their cause or issue. I have attended before, but if one wants to attend again -- no one may write or speak about the internal discussion or who attended.

In this case, however, I am not attending -- but a source other than Norquist has leaked this information to The Washington Note and Huffington Post.

As one major Republican operative told me yesterday:

Someone like Condi Rice doesn't go to Grover Norquist's den to talk about the Annapolis Middle East peace process. She's going to secure her future in Republican politics and to position herself as a 'potential' VP candidate on the McCain ticket.

It's only a rumor from a "Republican operative" so I don't put too much seriousness in this, but I thoiught I'd throw it out for discussion...

Condoleezza would be a big asset to McCains bid for the presidency.It adds experience not to mention some very interesting dynamics.

I read the title to this thread as it appeared on the main page, and thought to myself "Condi's really lost it. Coming on to Dick Cheney!?"

What a difference one word makes..........

Wow! And I thought she wasn't interested. I still think a McCain-Richards ticket would make more sense.

It's worse than that...

If you click the link from the main page you'll see the full title...It says "VP Possibility"...which means "any person who could possibly be VP"...

...which means she could've been flirting with Hillary...

Ok. That even grosses ME out.

Seriously though, I think Rice would do a good job in a VP slot.

He should pick Omarosa from "The Apprentice". At least she wouldn't be out buying shoes while thousands suffer and die in one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Wait a minute, the role of the VP is to set around and wait for the President to die. Her shoe shopping trip proves she's got the experience for that.
