Erick Erickson on the "Condi pick"

No, this is not from the days of Condi's "diplomacy" allowing North Korea to get a nuke; it's from the days of her confusing "palestinians" with the downtrodden blacks of the Old South and torching the Roadmap. The Hebrew means "No" (to incessant demands for Israeli concessions) and is pronounced "Lo."

 

Eric Erickson comments on Matt Drudge's "exclusive" headline on Condi as VP pick: 

First, let’s dispense with the bull shiitake mushrooms. Condi Rice is not the veep pick. She served President Bush for 8 years, has never been elected, and is pro-abortion. It’s not happening. Likewise, much of the fawning the left does over Rice has more to do with her carefully portrayed image as a spoiller to Rumsfeld and Cheney than to her actual, though admittedly impressive, background.

I can’t be the only one to have gotten pretty strong denials from Team Romney about this. A friend of mine speculates that it was a trial balloon so when a less than stellar pick emerges everyone can say, “Well, at least it was not Condi.”
