McCain and Rice GOP ticket?

For several months now many analysts and folks interested in politics have said that the Democrats could potentially put together a dream ticket with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. News flash, the Republicans appear to also possess the potential to put together a similar ticket. The only negative of Condoleezza Rice appearing on the ticket is that she has never held a political office and her ties to President Bush. With Rice as the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate, the Republicans will be unable to use the experience issue against Barack Obama, seeing that Rice has no experience outside her Secretary of State post. However, Rice is a highly educated conservative who can help McCain steal independent votes away from the Democrats. She can only help John McCain appeal to conservative voters and has been a pretty efficient Secretary of State. Besides Rice, Mitt Romney has also been mentioned as a leading candidate to earn the nomination. Romney is clearly being considered due to his appeal to conservative voters. McCain has a tough decision ahead of him, but if Rice is chosen, the 2008 election will surely be even more interesting.
