This WNBC/Marist Poll of New York State reports:

 Presidential Campaign 2008
?              A McCain/Rice ticket would edge out both a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket for New York?s 31, usually true blue, electoral votes:  49% of registered voters in New York State support a John McCain/Condoleezza Rice ticket compared with 46% who support Hillary Clinton as president and Barack Obama as vice president.  The Democrats don?t fare any better in New York with Obama at the top of the ticket as president and Clinton as vice president.  McCain/Rice receives 49%, and Obama/Clinton has 44%.  Although an Obama led Democratic ticket does better against McCain/Rice among non-enrolled voters than a Clinton/Obama ticket, Clinton/Obama is stronger with women against the Republicans.

Nice speculation..... BUT....last time I checked, I was under the impression Dr Rice has no interest in upgrading her current Executive branch position

Will no one ever explain how it is that any sane person thinks that Condoleeza Rice is qualified for even the jobs she has held?
She was NSA when 9-11 happened. She pretty much ignored the warnings that something would happen.
As Secretary of State, her diplomatic efforts have been rather unspectacular, especially with regard to Palisrael.

She is a Black woman with proper diction and a deep commitment to Juniorbush. Only the fact that she can give a speech well is pretty much her only qualifying feature. To me, she seems humorless, stilted and self-conscious, besides being a world class suckup.
