Truth bomb.

Because it’s a bit of a slow-ish day and because the importance of encouraging robust economic growth in the face of our current global crises cannot be understated, here’s former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with a solo (click on the image to watch via RCP). She gets it, emphasis mine: Because always in international [...]

Plus, "we need to understand [Benghazi response] in depth."

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appeared on CBS’ This Morning to do what everyone else is doing — providing a post-mortem on what happened Tuesday, as well as a look forward into the GOP’s future. Rice also gave some insight into Syria, China, and spent quite a bit of time talking about what we [...]

Seriously?

This isn’t the Wall Street Journal reporting, it’s, er, Radar Online, but whatever. Good enough for a Friday night. I believe all of it, right up to the point where Condi refuses to renounce her pro-choice stance. Really? Mitt Romney was prepared to rescue her from the political wilderness with a spot on the Republican [...]

Yeah, no one gets him, Ms. Rice.

Talk about your Rorschach moments. Condoleezza Rice gave a stirring speech that touched on the necessity of American engagement abroad, a need for education reform, and the true meaning of American exceptionalism.  She talked about transcending a childhood in the Jim Crow era in Birmingham, Alabama to become her nation’s chief diplomat, and spoke hopefully [...]

Really?

I gave you two possibilities in the update to Erika’s post, before we knew who the “surprising” new frontrunner was. Either it was a bona fide scoop or it was a red herring deliberately leaked by Team Mitt to draw the media away from today’s Bain storyline. Now that we know who the alleged surprise [...]

"I'm not particularly fond of politics."

Is it 2004 again?  The last time we saw this much speculation over a spot on the GOP ticket for Condoleezza Rice, the incumbent President was in a dogfight with a wealthy Massachusetts politico seeking to unseat him.  Hey, maybe it is 2004!  After a “spectacular” appearance at a Mitt Romney donor conference this weekend, [...]

The popular kid.

Of certain select potential vice presidential running mates for Mitt Romney, Condoleezza Rice is by far the most popular among Republicans and it’s not even close, according to a CNN/ORC poll. Rice boasts an approval rating of 80 percent, leading Rick Santorum, whose favorability stands at 65 percent, by 15 points. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie [...]

Too early to think about this?

It’s hard to know, sometimes, whether prominent GOP politicians really support the GOP presidential candidate they support — that is, whether they actually agree with the views the candidate expresses — or whether they just want to be considered for the largess of a new president. One of the first favors the eventual GOP nominee [...]
