Is Condoleezza Rice a Good Choice for a Republican VP
Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State under President Bush is being touted as the front-runner for Vice President for Romney, is she a good idea. Well I think no. There are a few very good reasons for this. First of all Romney by most accounts isn’t conservative enough for most areas of the Republican party. Rice has gone on the record on more than one occasion to state she believes that a woman has the right to choose, although she believes in limiting the government’s ability to fund abortion and she believes in limiting late-term abortions. This issue alone would normally disqualify her from the ticket. Then there is the Bush/Iraq factor. With conservative independents up for grabs Romney doesn’t need to remind them why they voted for Obama in the first place. Rice would do that easily. Lastly she has no experience campaigning. She may have experience in Washington DC but that doesn’t give one experience the in the grind and attacks that come with campaigns. Romney cannot make the same mistake the McCain did and think, “woman good, women will vote for women.” There are plenty of conservative, even conservative black women in politics. There are definitely better choices, even better choices for women Mr Romney, look for them.
