I think some people have kicked this around but I thought I would grab at it. I don't know how plausible it is with the challenges McCain has with President George W. Bush from time to time. But if it was done I think it would be a good strategic move as far as votes.
Condi is no dummy. She speaks five languages. Condi is a Republican that saw the light in 1982 and left the Democrats like Reagan did. Provost to a major university (Stanford) and balanced their budget. She is "mildly pro-choice" like me but is for heavy regulations and restrictions. Also tough on terrorism and foreign policy. I still hold her in high esteem in how she battled toe-to-toe with Barbara Boxer. Title of National Security Advisor and Secretary of State look good on the resume considering it was in the height of 9/11.
Not only do these qualifications highlight what would make her a good Vice President candidate but there are other things. How would it grate on liberals that Republicans would get the first woman and African American to be Vice President. I also think she would be able to reach out to black and other minority voters. A lot happens between now and November but that is something to consider for the time being.
