Romney’s VP: General David Petraeus?
Breaking news from the UK at TheDailyMail:
- Drudge Report says Barack Obama was overheard saying Romney was courting the popular general
- Petraeus was the most prominent military commander in the nation — credited with stabilizing the Iraq War
- Tension between the general, who is now CIA director, and Obama over draw down of troops in Afghanistan
- Obama is thought to fear Petraeus’ political power if he becomes a critic of the administration
- White House denies Obama ever mentioned Petraeus as possible vice presidential candidate
Would this make any difference to you as a voter?

“You didn’t build that” — NY media playing the race card
I seldom quote Breitbart because, for whatever combination of reasons, I just don’t find myself going there much. That said, Big Journalism hit one out of the ball park with their coverage of New York magazine declaring any scrutiny or examination of Mr Obama’s classic campaign-killing quote of “you didn’t build that” as RACIST.
Right. Racist. Again, check the video:
As John Nolte wrote:
With Rasmussen showing Romney enjoying a five-point lead (and that’s a pollster everyone in media knows is reliable, which is why they prefer juiced NBC polls), the media is now in pure panic mode. Furthermore, Obama’s Media Palace Guards know that when the full context is played of Obama’s revealing “you didn’t build that” quote, it’s absolutely devastating for Obama because the full context of those comments show the President openly ridiculing America’s small business owners.
Because, after all, when you possess no cogent argument, no facts, no statistics, no history upon which to base your alleged experience, no rebuttal, no logic, no sense of proportion — you play the Race Card.
Yawn. That is so Boring. That is so Yesterday and So Farrakhan.
Ho hum. Nothing to see here. Move along. This is not the candidate you’re looking for.

Drudge hints: Condi Rice for Romney’s VP?
Admittedly, I failed to see this coming.
I would have enjoyed perhaps Tom McClintock, Paul Ryan, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal or any number of other young guns. I did not see the possibility of Condoleezza Rice being considered. I thought she had made her prior refusals quite clear — but that was — as we may all recall — for the presidential spot, not VP.
That said, I’d take Rice over any number of inept, staid, corrupt, decrepit “Old Republicans” one molecule away from their brethren and sistren across the aisle.
Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal writes — as many people inherently know but mostly refuse to verbalize — that Obama “seems to view politics as his weary duty, something he had to do on his way to greatness.” And that Condi Rice would be a “brilliant choice” as VP.
Even Limbaugh wonders: “Condi?”
Let me get the obvious up front and out of the way. She is more “black” than Obama — because that actually matters to some blacks. [That’s a massive topic for another day. –BZ] She is more educated than Obama. She has infinitely more experience than Obama as the 66th Secretary of State under Bush. She was a poli-sci professor at Stanford, Bush’s National Security Advisor in his first term and is, well, female. She had to overcome incredible obstacles in her way. She is a concert-level pianist. Under Wikepedia:
Rice was a Democrat until 1982, when she changed her political affiliation to Republican, in part because she disagreed with the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter,[16][17] and because of the influence of her father, who was Republican. As she told the 2000 Republican National Convention, “My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did.”[18]
Imagine that. Those evil Republicans.
Any thoughts?

P.S.
Here is Condoleezza Rice as portrayed by the loving, accepting, tolerant, understanding, sensitive, inclusive and benevolent Leftists/Demorats:
Because, after all, that’s what you do to a black female in Modern Day Demorat America who isn’t an immediate adherent of your Leftist philosophy. Ruin her.
If you’re a black, you’re a Demorat. If you aren’t, you’re a traitor and slated for despicable ruination.
Condi Rice thinks that anyone with their pants below their underwear looks ludicrous.
