"mildly pro-choice"

Palin is trying to give "cover" to Rice and her "blessing"....calling on "pro-lifers' to IGNORE Condi's pro-choice position.

Don't know if Glacier Gidget still has that kind of pull anymore though. :)
 
Probably just a trial balloon...but no real intent on picking her. The negatives FAR overshadow any positives.

1. Connections to Dubya years.
2. No real impact on the black or women's vote.
3. Pisses off the Base with Rice's "RINOisms" on abortion and affirmative action.
 
Well, for my part, if Dr. Rice were on the ticket, my excitement level would go way up!

IF she were to ever be the TOP of the ticket, I would not only donate, but, work in her campaign.

But, alas, you are 100% correct: Already many on the Right are belly moaning that she is not "Conservative" enough.

Same shit they said 4 years ago about McCain....
 
Yep. Portman, I guess, if you believe Pawlenty's "no way". Pawlenty is also the one who coined "Obomneycare". Don't think that would be helpful.
 
"Mildly pro choice" is the position for those who believe in "slightly pregnant".
 
Sorry, Doc....after having to "hold their nose" for Romney (who during his Senate run against him said he'd be "more pro-choice than Ted Kennedy")....the majority of "pro-lifers" are not going to stand by and let Mitt pick a "pro-baby killing" Veep.

In fact...any HINT of "pro-choice" in the Veep's background is going to send them into convulsions.
 
For my part,I'll admit that Tom Ridge is the kind of Republican I could vote for depending on who the Dem candidate might be. I've said for years that I could be a Republican,if not for GOPs' hard turn to the right on social issues and using social issues as a litmus test. Rick Santorum did a lot of damage to Romney in that regard.

Piyush Jindal called it Obamneycare a couple of weeks ago also. Wonder if that rules him out too? :)

Floating Rice may be the Romney Campaign's way of "building up" Portman. "Hint" they'll pick some "flashy" or "game-changing" Veep...but who has baggage the Right won't like...

then pick Portman who would be fairly solid with the Base, but not flashy....and the Base says "Whew! Mitt almost picked ++++....thank goodness we have Rob"....even though Portman isn't Mr Excitement or well-known to them.
 
All they'd have to do is run clips of her litany of lies about Iraq. Would we really trust someone again who was appointed designated liar to invade the wrong country? That was Condie's job. Semantic prevarication. She's the champ. She can conjure mushroom clouds from fertilizer trucks and whip up a war frenzy over a neutered dictator who couldn't get a plane off the ground, had no ties to al Qaeda, couldn't sleep in the same place two nights in a row and already had inspectors up his ass on a daily basis with no bloodshed going on. She helped "fix" all of that. Some of us still remember.
 
Pawlenty is the kind of Willard surrogate who could come up with a story to brush that aside and pass a polygraph because he has no remorse. He'd be the perfect VP pick for Willard. He could defend Willard's flip-flops and pass a polygraph.

First "Northerner-Northerner" Republican ticket in decades. Interesting given the GOP is almost a "Southern" Party these days.
 
I do not like the Socio-Cultural "Litums" tests from either side of the aisle.

But NOW, it is too late for such for either faction. Democrats have Obama, Republicans have Romney.

OR, one could throw their vote away on a protest candidate.

Those are your choices.....

Although "choosing not to decide, you still have made a choice!"

Romney MAY gamble, Doc....gamble that Obama hatred would "smooth over" him picking a pro-choice Veep.

But does Mitt strike you as a gambler? (except with other people's money, I mean. :) )
