Condi, What If We Say Pretty Please

Today Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice said that she was not interested in running on the Republican ticket this fall for Vice President. Secretary Rice is the latest in a string of high profile candidates to express their disinterest in running for VP. You can take a look at my tongue-in-cheek article about why nobody wants Vice President's job in: Jobs Americans Will Not Do. Secretary Rice has repeatedly said that she does not seek any elected office and wishes to return to her position as Professor at Stanford University. Personally, I hope that Secretary Rice reconsiders her decision. Of the 8 or so potential VP picks on the Republican side, Dr. Rice is one of the most qualified. She is extremely well educated, articulate, charming, and experienced. Dr. Rice's experience first as National Security Advisor, and then as Secretary Of State, gives her two of the most important qualities we will need in Washington for the foreseeable future. Those qualities are extensive diplomatic experience and a solid knowledge of Defense. Ultimately of course, we will respect Dr Rice's decision. If that means returning to Stanford, then good luck and thank you for your service. I am sure that I am not alone in asking you to please reconsider Dr. Rice. Since it is unlikely that The Secretary will ever read this, I am compelled to ask; is it just me or is Condi kinda hot? Absolutely no disrespect intended, but yeah, Hot.
