**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."

Quoting jcrew6:Quoting _Kissy_:
Condoleezza Rice says "no way" to VP for Romney.
Unless she flip flops also.
Really? This is a flip flopping issue? Does obama's flip flops as president get a free pass while you may mock Condi if she decides to run? If so, Your priorities are off.
But, but, but Obama doesn't "flip flop" he EVOLVES. 
Well, she is correct that we need leadership in this country.... seems like she has a handle on the real issues at stake, so if he picks her, that would be a huge plus!
Isn't CR pro-choice? No, I do no think she will be the choice.
Quoting nanaofsix531:The base won't accept her.She is pro-choice.
Agreed.
