Rice for Vice?

[Alex]

Only Nixon could go to China and at this point in time only the Republicans can elect a woman or black president. That's my view anyway.

Doesn't mean they will, though. We could certainly do worse than Rice as VP or President, though the last true academic in the White House (Wilson) was a bit of a disaster.

Hillary versus Condoleeza would be an interesting and historic matchup though one the Democrats would be insane to go with. You'll definitely get more crossovers from left to right than right to left (there are more Democrats who would vote for Rice simply because she is black and hardly any Republicans who would ever vote for Clinton)
