You've all been on pins and needles waiting for it--Secretary Rice says she's not running for VP.

Rice says has no plan to run for vice president
Fri Feb 22, 2008 6:11pm EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Having long played down the idea that she might someday run for president, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday said she had no plans to serve as a vice president either.

There has been speculation that Republican presidential front-runner Sen. John McCain of Arizona might tap Rice as his running mate.

"I have always said that the one thing that I have not seen myself doing is running for elected office," Rice said at a news conference. "I didn't even run for high school president. It's sort of not in my genes."

While her comments were not a categorical refusal to run, Rice also said she had no expectation of playing a role in the campaign by speaking out for McCain or other candidates.

"We all take life a day at a time in terms of trying to get the job done," she said, saying she planned to concentrate on her work as secretary of state. "I don't expect in any way to be involved in this campaign."

That would be great if the DUmmie were right for one time in its life.  It would make the McCain ticket easier to vote for.  I could leave my clothespin at home!

Well, but what Ms Rice says about running for elected office is true, it's just not for her. I'll never forget those press conferences where the President was getting peppered with stupid questions from the press and she was standing behind him just glaring back at them! I loved it but that's not what a good politician does.

Two short tempered people on the same ticket? Hmmm.

She has repeatedly stated that she is not interested in running for office.

It was a pipe dream. Sigh.

I hope he picks someone that mitigates his stench a bit.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
