Secretary               of               State               Condoleezza               Rice               denies               rumors               that               she               is               seeking               the               Vice               Presidential               spot               on               the               2008               Republican               ticket.

On               the               Sunday,               April               6,               2008               broadcast               of               This               Week               with               George               Stephanopoulos,               Republican               strategist               Dan               Senor               claimed               that               Rice               was               actively               "campaigning"               to               be               John               McCain's               running               mate.

Senor               said               that               Rice               has               been               schmoozing               with               the               Republican               Party               Establishment,               citing               her               appearance               at               the               weekly               meeting               of               Grover               Norquist's               Americans               for               Tax               Reform               organization.

Senor               told               Stephanopoulos,               "Ten               days               ago,               they               had               an               interesting               visit               --               Secretary               of               State               Condoleezza               Rice               --               the               first               time               a               secretary               of               state               has               visited               the               Wednesday               meeting."
               Some               political               pundits               believe               that               Condoleezza               Rice               would               be               a               good               choice               for               Veep               due               to               John               McCain's               emphasis               on               experience               during               his               campaign.

She               would               be               the               ultimate               balancing               act,               as               Rice               --               as               an               African               American               woman               --               would               bring               gender               and               racial               balance               to               the               GOP               ticket.

Senor               feels               that               one               of               Rice's               greatest               advantages               is               her               notoriety:               Condi               Rice               is               a               known               quantity,               and               unlike               a               relative               unknown               such               as               Florida               Governor               Charlie               Crist               or               Minnesota               Governor               Tim               Pawlenty,               the               American               public               already               are               familiar               with               her.
               Senor               said               that               putting               Rice               on               the               GOP               ticket               would               save               the               McCain               campaign               from               having               to               spend               time               introducing               the               Vice               Presidential               nominee               to               the               American               public,               if               the               choice               is               a               governor               lacking               national               exposure               or               a               relatively               unknown               member               of               Congress.
               "The               challenge               they're               realizing               is               that               they'll               have               to               have               to               spend               30               to               45               days,               which               they               won't               have               at               that               point,               educating               the               American               public               about               who               this               person               is."
               Rice               also               has               the               gravitas               that               is               fitting               for               the               Vice               Presidency,               the               chief               role               of               which               is               to               take               over               the               Oval               Office               should               the               President               die               or               be               incapacitated.

That               issue               likely               will               be               at               the               forefront               of               the               campaign,               as               the               74-year-old               John               McCain               will               be               the               oldest               Presidential               nominee               from               a               major               party               in               U.S.

history.

Ronald               Reagan               was               69               years               old               when               he               won               his               first               term               as               President               in               1980,               and               he               seemed               to               suffer               from               the               Alzheimer's               disease               that               eventually               afflicted               him               as               early               as               his               first               term,               although               his               cognitive               problems               might               have               been               related               to               the               physical               terrible               trauma               he               suffered               from               his               near-assassination               on               March               30,               1981.

The               more               relevant               example               is               Bob               Dole,               who               was               73               when               won               the               1996               GOP               nomination.

During               the               '96               campaign,               Dole               made               several               gaffes               related               to               memory-lapses               akin               to               that               recently               made               by               McCain               in               Iraq,               which               the               2008               GOP               nominee-presumptive               termed               a               "senior               moment."
               Even               more               relevant               is               the               three               operations               that               John               McCain               has               undergone               for               skin               cancer.

In               three               separate               procedures,               malignant               melanomas               have               been               excised               from               McCain.

The               chances               of               a               person               having               three               incidences               of               malignant               skin               cancer               is               between               !%               and               2%.

McCain               has               not               released               detailed               information               related               to               his               cancer.
               The               life-expectancy               of               a               74-year-old               man               is               10.1               years,               but               John               McCain               is               a               cancer               survivor,               and               the               Oval               Office               has               a               way               of               aging               even               a               young               man               such               as               Bill               Clinton,               who               was               46               when               he               became               President.

Thus,               a               youthful               alternative               with               the               ability               to               take               over               at               a               moment's               notice               is               essential               for               the               job               described               as               being               "a               heart-beat               away               from               the               Presidency."               The               Republican               Vice               Presidential               nominee               might               very               well               become               the               next               President               of               the               United               States.
               According               to               Senor,               the               53-year-old               Condoleezza               Rice               "is               someone               who               people               instantly               say,               the               second               they               see               that               announcement,               'I               get               it,               that               person               could               be               president               tomorrow.'"
               The               McCain               campaign               has               denied               that               Condi               Rice               is               under               consideration               for               the               vice               president.

It               is               difficult               to               think               of               John               McCain,               with               his               old-fashioned               ways               fashioned               in               the               pre-integration,               pre-Tailhook               U.S.

Navy               of               two               generations               ago               accepting               a               black               woman               as               his               running               mate.

McCain's               attitude               towards               women               likely               is               as               old-fashioned               as               his               Cold               War-era               politics               --               he               still               believes               that               the               U.S.

could               have               won               the               Vietnam               War.

In               a               new               biography               that               will               soon               be               published,               Cliff               Schecter's               The               Real               McCain,               it               is               revealed               that               the               hotheaded               Arizona               Senator               used               the               "C-word"               to               describe               his               wife               by               before               campaign               aides               and               reporters.

This               might               not               be               the               kind               of               man               that               Rice               could               serve,               unlike               reformed               frat               boy               George               W.

Bush,               who               has               been               scandal-free               for               decades               and               treats               his               wife               and               children               respectfully.
               On               her               part,               Condi               Rice               publicly               eschews               elective               office               and               says               she               plans               to               return               to               Stanford               University               at               the               end               of               the               Bush               Administration.

She               taught               political               science               at               Stanford               and               was               the               provost               of               the               university.
               The               Associated               Press               quoted               a               statement               that               Rice               made               at               a               State               Department               news               conference               held               on               Tuesday,               April               8th,               in               which               the               Secretary               of               State               praised               McCain               but               squelched               rumors               that               she               was               a               candidate               for               higher               office.
               "Senator               McCain               is               an               extraordinary               American,               a               really               outstanding               leader               and               obviously               a               great               patriot.

That               said,               I               am               going               back               to               Stanford,               back               to               California,               west               of               the               Mississippi,"               Rice               told               the               press.

"I               very               much               look               forward               to               watching               this               campaign               and               voting               as               a               voter."
               The               floating               of               the               idea               of               Rice               for               Vice               President               is               strange,               as               there               is               no               realistic               chance               the               Secretary               of               State               would               be               put               on               the               ticket.

To               put               Condoleezza               Rice               on               the               Republican               ticket               would               essentially               mean               that               John               McCain               was               running               for               a               third               term               for               George               W.

Bush,               who               is               extremely               unpopular.

It               would               also               be               regarded               as               a               stunt,               to               counter               Barack               Obama               --               the               first               serious               African               American               candidate               for               the               Presidency.

Although               it               is               unlikely               a               Republican               ticket               with               Rice               would               draw               much               support               from               the               African               American               community,               it               might               be               perceived               as               a               pitch               to               disgruntled               female               supporters               of               Hillary               Clinton               who               might               balk               at               voting               for               a               Democratic               ticket               that               did               not               contain               Hillary.

Furthermore,               having               Rice               on               the               ticket               would               do               nothing               to               shore               up               McCain's               suspect               support               from               right-wing               evangelical               Christians,               a               critical               voting               block               within               the               Republican               Party.

As               an               African               American               who               just               might               become               president,               Rice               also               would               prove               a               turn-off               to               the               anti-affirmative               action,               anti-civil               rights               white               vote               that               has               provided               the               margin               of               victory               for               the               GOP               in               the               Southern               states.
               Condoleezza               Rice's               relationship               with               Stanford               University               employee               Randy               Bean,               another               unmarried               woman,               is               another               factor.

Rumors               that               Rice               is               a               lesbian               likely               prevents               Rice               from               having               a               career               in               elective               office               as               a               Republican.

Rice               and               Bean,               who               has               the               title               "Executive               Producer               of               Special               TV               Projects"               at               Stanford,               own               a               house               together               and               share               a               line               of               credit,               giving               credence               to               the               rumors               that               the               Secretary               of               State               is,               in               fact,               a               lesbian.

Many               gays,               in               fact,               believe               her               to               be               one               of               their               own,               but               deeply               in               "The               Closet."               Although               the               GOP               contains               many               closeted               homosexuals,               the               "outing"               of               her               relationship               with               Bean               would               create               a               backlash               against               her               as               the               Republican               Party               is               hostile               to               gay               rights.
               Aside               from               her               personal               life,               Condi               Rice               is               an               enigmatic               figure               in               many               ways.

The               daughter               of               two               college               professors,               she               was               raised               in               the               segregated               Birmingham,               Alabama               of               the               Jim               Crow               1950s               and               '60s               and               was               tangentially               involved               in               one               of               the               most               horrific               moments               in               the               history               of               U.S.

race               relations.

Yet,               despite               the               fact               that               her               childhood               friend,               11-year-old               Denise               McNair,               was               one               of               four               girls               killed               in               the               infamous               1963               bombing               of               Birmingham,               Alabama's               16th               Street               Baptist               Church,               Rice               eschewed               involvement               in               the               civil               rights               movement.

As               a               rising               academic               star,               her               focus               was               the               Cold               War               and               the               Soviet               Union.
               The               history               of               national               electoral               politics               and               the               Electoral               College               has               seen               the               realignment               of               the               "Solid               South"               --               and               its               huge               block               of               electoral               votes               in               Presidential               contests               --               from               the               Democratic               Party               to               the               Republican               Party               as               a               majority               of               whites               migrated               to               the               GOP               after               the               extension               of               civil               rights               to               blacks               in               the               1960s.

Barry               Goldwater,               Richard               Nixon               and               Ronald               Reagan               were               all               essential               players               in               turning               the               Party               of               Lincoln,               the               Great               Emancipator               who               was               hated               throughout               the               South               as               the               conqueror               of               the               Confederate               States               of               American,               into               a               racist-friendly               party.

The               Solid               South               shifted               from               the               Democrats               to               the               Republicans,               who               now               dominate               the               GOP               and               Congress               much               as               they               did               when               they               were               Democrats.
               After               watching               the               1984               Democratic               Convention,               Rice               says               she               became               a               Republican,               thus               joining               the               party               that               a               great               many               southern               racists               adopted               as               their               own               after               the               Democratic               Party               became               home               to               African               Americans               after               Lyndon               Johnson               and               a               Democratic               Congress               passed               civil               rights               legislation               ending               segregation               and               guaranteeing               the               right               to               vote               to               black               folk.

The               Republican               Party               now               is               home               to               unreconstructed               white               bigots               of               the               stripe               of               former               Senator               Trent               Lott               of               Mississippi,               who               once               was               the               Majority               Leader               of               the               Senate.

This               is               the               party               the               African               American               Rice               joined.

Her               membership               in               the               GOP               elucidates               a               high               degree               of               ambivalence.
               Part               of               the               speculation               about               Rice               and               the               Vice               Presidency               is               rooted               in               the               fact               that               the               Secretary               of               State               has               been               publicly               musing               about               issues               that               she               has               not               touched               on               in               the               past.

Her               expertise               is               national               security,               but               recently               she               has               been               talking               about               civil               rights.

The               rise               of               Barack               Obama,               who               is               mixed-race               but               identifies               as               African               American,               likely               has               touched               her,               as               it               has               her               predecessor               as               Secretary               of               State,               Colin               Powell,               who               also               is               African               American.

(It               is               believed               Powell               is               supportive               of               an               Obama               Presidency.)               Rice               says               she               joined               the               GOP               as               the               Democrats               saw               black               folk               and               women               as               "victims,"               and               she               hated               to               be               patronized.

Obama,               with               his               modern               message               of               reconciliation               of               the               races,               does               not               play               on               victimology.

(That               niche               is               reserved               by               his               rival               for               the               Democratic               nomination,               the               intensely               privileged               Hillary               Clinton,               who               plays               the               same               kind               of               old-fashioned               "victim"               politics               as               her               friend               Geraldine               Ferraro,               the               1984               Democratic               nominee               for               Vice               President,               who               was               elevated               at               the               '84               convention               that               turned               Condi               Rice               away               from               the               Democratic               Party.)
               If               Condoleezza               Rice               does               have               political               aspirations,               they               most               likely               would               be               centered               on               California.

Moderate-to-conservative               Democratic               Senator               Dianne               Feinstein               is               75               years               old               and               her               term               will               be               up               in               2012.

It               is               unlikely               that               Rice's               sexual               orientation               would               be               held               against               her               in               California,               except,               perhaps               by               militant               gays               who               would               want               to               "out"               her.

As               a               political               act,               Condi               Rice's               outing               by               militant               gays               essentially               would               serve               as               a               complaint               about               her               lack               of               support               for               the               gay               community               and               serve               to               underscore               the               hypocrisy               of               her               party.
               If               she               were               outed               in               California,               it               would               make               little               difference.

Most               gays               and               straights               in               tolerant               California               likely               would               look               beyond               personal               issues               pertaining               to               sexual               orientation               and               focus               on               her               resume.

Dianne               Feinstein               hasn't               had               a               serious               challenge               since               when               she               was               first               up               for               reelection               in               1994,               when               she               was               almost               beaten               by               Michael               Huffington,               who               interestingly,               came               out               of               the               closet               as               a               homosexual               shortly               thereafter.

Feinstein               will               be               79               years               old               in               2012,               and               likely               will               step               aside,               leaving               an               open               seat               and               a               chance               for               Rice               to               go               back               to               Washington               in               the               prestigious               role               of               U.S.

Senator,               if               she               should               chose               to               run.
               The               Republican               Party               in               California               has               lacked               attractive               candidates               with               state-wide               pull               for               a               generation               now.

Condi               Rice               might               just               fulfill               their               need               for               a               candidate,               other               than               Governor               Arnold               Schwarzenegger,               with               mass               appeal.

Schwarzenegger               succeeded               because               he               was               a               movie               star,               and               it               can               be               said               that               Condi               Rice               also               is               a               celebrity.
               Barbara               Boxer,               the               junior               Senator               from               California,               will               be               up               for               reelection               in               2010,               but               she               has               yet               to               face               a               serious               challenge               from               a               Republican               since               her               first               election               two               decades               ago.

Boxer,               one               of               the               most               liberal               Senators,               will               be               only               70               in               2010               and               still               in               her               prime.

While               Condi               Rice               might               want               to               sharpen               her               campaign               skills               in               a               challenge               to               the               formidable               Boxer,               she               could               wait               two               years               until               2012.

Dianne               Feinstein's               vacant               seat               likely               would               be               the               best               option               for               her,               if               she               wants               a               political               career.
