Hmmm maybe Romney's appearance at the NAACP

didn't go well, from his campaign's perspective?
Why else would Matt Drudge (AKA "Romney's Bitch"), be shilling for Condi Rice to run as Mitt's VP?
If this is true, then it's a robust dial-back to "Classic Mitt", i.e. superceding a bunch of better known candidates in favor of a female running mate with an established record of reliability and or docility.
And it is that time of the election year for the annual week long vice presidential flirtation with the GOP's showcase Woman of Color.
"After all" thinks the Former Viceroy "She toadied for Bush, why shouldn't she Toady for Me?"
I suspect though, this is campaign stuntwork and palaver designed to take the hoodoo off a bad week for Romney, questions about when he left Bain Capital, questions about his many many overseas accounts and he got boo'd (for better or worse) by the NAACP.
And besides, there have been these persistent rumors that Rice's lifestyle might be anathema to the GOP Base.
But I hasten to add, these are rumors.

Maybe this is Willard's idea of a news-cycle disruptor...if so it's pretty lame.
