ROMNEY NARROWS VP CHOICES; CONDI EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER

**Exclusive**

Late Thursday evening, Mitt Romney's presidential campaign launched a new fundraising drive, 'Meet The VP' -- just as Romney himself has narrowed the field of candidates to a handful, sources reveal.

And a surprise name is now near the top of the list: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!

The timing of the announcement is now set for 'coming weeks'.

It was Condi who received two standing ovations at Romney's Utah retreat a few weeks ago, and everyone left with her name on their lips.

Rice made an extended argument for American leadership in the world.

In recent days, she emailed supporters:

"2012 is perhaps a turning point for the United States."

"The upcoming elections loom as one of the most important in my lifetime," she warned. "I'm very often asked to speak about our current foreign policy and the challenges that lie before us. However, we, as a country, are not going to be able to address any of those international challenges unless we first get our domestic house in order."

I thought she already said no. If anything i think she should run for president in 2016.

Lol.

I wouldn't mind that at all.

Condoleezza Rice says "no way" to VP for Romney.


Unless she flip flops also.

[lylalane7275]

Maybe she evolved.

While I think she would be a good pick for him, I can't see the base ever going for her. So i would be shocked if he chooses her, plus as others have noted, she may not want to be his VP.  I would wait too if I were her.

 She would be a great choice.

I really wish it was true but didn't she already say she would not do a vp run?

What I said in the conservative group:

I would love to see Rice as the VP. 

Her interview a while back where she insists that she is too interested in policy over politics to run was a clincher for me.  I find her believable in that regard, she is so incredibly smart and she seems to be extremely sensible and informed about current and past policy, both foreign and domestic.

I believe that she meant she didn't want to run as VP, but I also think that she might be persuaded by a good argument from Mitt Romney himself. She has already expressed her confidence in his leadership, so I do think that if she is embraced as someone who can help make it happen, she could change her mind.

Atleast, I really hope so.

Actually, I'd rather see her as a Presidential candidate than Romney, but too late for that.
