Here's a wildy speculative OP about Condi for VP...
...on McCain's ticket. IMO it's kind of insulting to Ms. Rice, seemingly making her out to be a "trophy" black entry into the race. Thoughts?

I don't really see it that way . They mention the trophy aspect of it in the first sentence , after mentioning her name , as being the " obvious " , then go on to mention her pro's and con's , even mentioning her as being 4th
in line .
They (The New Yorker) like most mainstream media talk of the election process as if it's a game , but either fail to actually realize how serious of a game it is , or ( more likely ) are writing within the guidelines that they are offered .
What they fail to mention is that Condi is a neo-con's , neo-con .
She has been around a lot longer than most realize or know about .
She was included in the circle of the former's , before little George - she was in fact part of the recruitment team ( including George Shultz and James Baker , just to name a few ) that recruited him ...as their puppet .
There , I said it .
Without any research at all - the most blatant example of this fact was when
I saw Shultz , unwittingly , brag about " recruiting " little George on a PBS special , and mentioned Condi as being a member of the " team " .
Keep in mind , Ronald didn't think much of little George .
The real power all along has been coming from the office of the Vice President and he along with others surrounding little George have been around since the days of Nixon and Ford .
Condi hasn't been around quite that long , though .
