Condi is considered the top candidate for the running mate of the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, who will likely be Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. According to the results of a CNN poll of 473 conservative-leaning voters April 13-15, 26 percent picked her. They apparently think that she can trump the weakness of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who was often mocked for having “no brain” in foreign policy, while taking part of the black American vote away from President Barack Obama.

Palin was indeed mocked for having "no brain" in foreign policy.

Of course, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have turned out to be worse.

You don't need a brain when you have a big stick.

Or, in Biden's case, you are a big stick.

Biden is the stick holder. When Barry needs it he asks Joe to let go.

I figured it had to be a foreign source. I've not heard of Condi being a serious consideration for Mitt's VP pick.

More's the pity. Though she's also almost certainly smart enough to turn it down, if offered.

She would make a great choice IMO.

Didn't Condi shoot this down a several weeks back? I thought she said she was not interested.....

Everyone who is a potential VP candidate says they won't do it. It may or may not be their honest opinion, but when asked, I think few of them would turn down the duties.

Yeah, I think she'd make a good Veep. Can't blame her for not wanting it, though.

I think she should accept just so she could debate Joe Biden. The entertainment value of that alone would be sufficient to justify having her on the ticket.

I am denying the claim re her foreign policy brain. She was supposed to be a specialist on russia - and she spectacularly обосралась [idiomatic, "crapped her pants" = failed] re the 2008 war with Georgia.

She's not stupid. I'd look at the information she got from CIA for a problem. They're spectacular dunderheads more often than not.

I like Condi, certainly much better than Romney, but if he did pick her it wouldn't affect one whit, whether I'd vote for him or what I think of him.

For that one did not need any information. What one needed was the understanding of the putinoid russia. And that's where she crapped her pants.
