John McCain's Presidential Running Mate?

Who should John McCain pick?

Condoleezza Rice?

Rice Is Right For McCain's VP
The Nation: Putting Condoleezza Rice On The Republican Ticket Would Cause Indescribable Angst For Dems
(The Nation) This column was written by Nicholas von Hoffman.

Democrats who think it's going to be a cakewalk into the White House next November had best remember one name: Condoleezza Rice.

John McCain is a formidable candidate in his own right, but if he has the political imagination to do it, he can cause the party of Jefferson and Jackson indescribable angst with Rice as his vice-presidential pick.

Besides being the greatest two-for in GOP history, Rice brings other huge pluses to the decorated Vietnam hero. Indeed, she may be enough to elect the venerable hero/naval aviator.

McCain's troubles with the religious wing of his party could well evaporate with the churchgoing Rice at his side. She solidifies that part of his base overnight.
