Quit acting like a female.
Darn right. I'm going to get hysterical and act like I don't need a good reason to know I'm right, like a man!

She owns a home and lines of credit with another single woman in her 50's that's never been married. Her best male friend is gay and no one can find a man that she has had any type of intimate relationship with since the mid 1970's.
The gay man also used to be a part owner of that home, until he sold his share. The line of credit is tied to the house, for home repairs. Apparently no one has seen Rice engage in any activity that is remotely non-platonic with this woman.
This is evidence of a deep friendship. It is not evidence of a sexual relationship.
Would be a bad choice IMO. I don't have much against Rice per se, and she seems like a very intelligent competent woman (policy differences aside), but it sure reminds me of the Bush the 2nd Administration.
Rubio seems like the obvious choice (young, Hispanic, seems like he's popular in a critical state).

LOL....
Condi would basically seal the election for Obama IMO... As Democrats will hammer that Romney/Rice will be just another Bush Regime.
You have a rich white guy touting tax cuts for the rich, pushing for deregulation, threatening war against Iran, and wants to privatize everything.... Then if you tact on Rice.... You have a Bush III (as if the first two wasn't enough suck).
Democrats and their media are gonna have field day with this.

Serious question, don't you think that Romney's stance on taxes is going to blow up in his face come election time? The Middle-class doesn't want to hear anymore about tax cuts for the rich or "trickle-down" economics. Haven't we given the so called "job creators" enough time to create jobs? They haven't in nearly 12 years despite record lows in taxes (unless you count the jobs they've created overseas). Hasn't the middle-class lost enough jobs, lost enough homes, and seen enough of their benefits disappear as "job creators" like Romney and his ilk have bought new yachts, constructed garage car elevators, and hidden their money in Swiss Bank Accounts?
I just think that when Oct/Nov comes around that Demos and their media will go to work against Romney and paint him as a rich CEO that everyone is already pissed off at who merely wants to screw us over while handing out more "golden parachutes" to his rich buddies.
As bad as Obama has been, is this country really ready for another 4 years of Bush? Not this sorta watered down version that Obama has given us, but an outright 4 more years of Bush? More tax cuts for the rich???
Although it might go against his political ideology, but I think in order for Romney to win, he will need to budge on tax cuts. Nothing would help his stance with minorities, the poor, and the middle-class than agreeing that the REAL job creators aren't the uber rich and that therefore raising taxes on them (letting their tax cuts expire) is the right thing to do.
Even if they don't necessarily believe it, I think agreeing w/Obama on this would take a MAJOR bargaining chip away from the Obama campaign. All of a sudden Obama couldn't just call Mitt a rich guy looking out for his class's own welfare!
Of course, this makes too much sense so obviously the right won't do it.

Almost 6 months later I still feel this way. Just like the Dem's did after Bush I, the Repub's are going to do this election. I just. don't. get. it. Kerry? Romney? Seriously? If you hate the president so bad, why can't you put someone in there who doesn't suck sheep sack?

The "job creators" in this country are the people who create demand - which is the middle class.
Unless this country as a whole recognizes this basic truth, we'll be spinning our wheels forever.
