FOX News’ Bret Baier sat down with the fifth potential vice presidential candidate in his series titled Running With Romney. Condoleeza Rice, former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State to President George W. Bush, was featured today. Her thoughts :
SAN JOSE — Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said again this afternoon that she has no interest in being a candidate for vice president, but she had some advice for Mitt Romney about the kind of person he might choose.
“Somebody who actually wants to run for office would be a good start,” Rice said.
The Republican told a conference of business leaders hosted by the Bay Area Council in San Jose that Romney would make a “fine president.”
“I think he’ll find a fine vice president, too,” she added.

They all say they’re not interested. Hope, Gov Romney will ask her. My concern is that, if Candi or Jeb Bush chosen for VP, GW Bush must come out, campaign for Gov Romney and defend his policy. I DON’T understand why GW Bush people let Obama blaming, bad mouthing them 4 years long?? I don’t get it. GW Bush MUST come out tell Obama to shut the @#$@ up.
Candi is awesome Lady!
I called this ticket 5 years ago and you all know it!
Go Conde and Mitt! Or Romney and Rice ? I don’t care if they call it Rice-aroni … Just do it!
I said if Condi ever ran for pres I would certainly vote for her, not because she is a woman, but because she knows her stuff!
I would LOVE to see her run with Mitt, wise, wise choice it would be!
“she has no interest in being a candidate for vice president”
GREAT. She SHOULD be playing the piano to poor children in some God-forsaken pagan country in the far corner of the globe as we don’t need her in our government. “W” (” aka Dumbya”) is gone!
The last thing we need is a former debutante/chipmonk-faced musician/retread NEOCONartist as the Vice President of the United States.
If Mitt Romney picks someone like Marco Rubio, Condi Rice, Jeb Bush (ie: A NEOCON AS A RUNNING MATE) who believes that America should be involved in other country’s affairs around the world, who wants unending involvement in the Middle East that places American lives at risk HERE and ABROAD, to terrorism. Who wants this involvement paid at the expensive of the American taxpayer and at the expensive of American sovereignty – then, I WILL SIT OUT THE 2012 ELECTION, AS I HAD IN 2000 AND 2004.
