BREAKING: Condi Rice Flirts With VP Possibility -- Speaks to Grover Norquist's Wednesday Group Meeting

Wednesday, Mar 26 2008, 10:07AM

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is speaking this morning to Grover Norquist's weekly powerhouse gathering at Americans for Tax Reform of conservative associations, think tanks, and political operations.

At the semi-secret gatherings which Republican political hopefuls migrate to to get the blessing of not only Norquist but the diverse parts of the nation's conservative money and political machinery, Norquist gives everyone in the room 3 minutes to pitch their cause or issue. I have attended before, but if one wants to attend again -- no one may write or speak about the internal discussion or who attended.

In this case, however, I am not attending -- but a source other than Norquist has leaked this information to The Washington Note and Huffington Post.

As one major Republican operative told me yesterday:

Someone like Condi Rice doesn't go to Grover Norquist's den to talk about the Annapolis Middle East peace process. She's going to secure her future in Republican politics and to position herself as a 'potential' VP candidate on the McCain ticket.
Grover Norquist is author of the new book, Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives. It would be interesting to know which pages of the book Condi has dog-eared.

For McCain, I assume.

Obama is toast if he's the nominee and this happens.

I'd like to hear much more about Ms. Rice's core political philosophy first.

On the other (cheerleading) hand, please, please, please.

I could not think of a better reason to not vote for McCain if this was to happen. Likewise, I think I would just burst out laughing for time on end.

Has there been a less relevant secretary of state, as it is?

I like (mostly) Rice.

We could call this ticket "The Devil and Ms Rice".

Condi is generally seen as the primary point of failure in allowing 9/11. I'd LOVE for her to run on McCain's ticket and return the focus to her competency.

I was going to vote for Obama just because he's black, but now that Condi is running, I'll vote Repub because they have a candidate who is black and a woman! Plus she's full on black, even better than Obama!

9/11 was in the planning stages in 1994 after the failed 1993 attempt to topple the WTC. Condi Rice was not involved at the time. Your opinion and information seems to be flawed.

Here's one for you.

If she were a democrat, you'd be in love with her...

That's besde the point, since (no matter whether you assign blame or not) 9/11 could have been averted all the way up until 9/11/01.
