Just watch how the press reacts if/when Romney picks a woman as a running mate. Watch how they treat her differently then the other candidates.

Then we can talk about the whole equality thing. The question is, can you be intellectually honest when the time comes?

Funny how you stop at "woman" and say nothing about the candidate's qualifications.

You really want to go there? Remember how the Republicans vilified Geraldine Ferraro? 64 years after women won the right to vote, a woman had removed the “men only” sign from the White House door.

I have no doubt that Secretary Rice is overqualified for the job. Her virtues would be her downfall in the game that goes on in Washington.

I have to at least thank you for being honest enough to not argue that the liberal and their buddies in the press DID treat Sarah Palin unfairly.

The question is, when you were alone were you the least bit embarrassed to be associated with a group of people who would treat a fellow human being that way because of her gender and political views? Did it bother you at all to see the press drag her children through the mud like that? Even a little?

The reception she got was because she was a ditz. She didn't know Africa wasn't a nation. She didn't know how East and West Berlin came to be. She didn't know how North and South Korea came to be. She had no idea what the Bush Doctrine was. She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. She was not properly vetted, according to McCain's staff. She believed in abstinence but she had a pregnant, unmarried teenager. Shows how well that worked out, doesn't it?

The fact she quit her elected job as Governor to pursue money for speaking engagements shows where her priorities were.

She was a train wreck for McCain and I'm convinced he lost the election because he picked her instead of a more qualified candidate.

Are you embarrassed because it took so long for your party to finally pick a woman for the VP job?

"Before we go A-to-Z with pros and cons, let's start with why Romney's team might have floated the Condi trial balloon now.

If you were anywhere near a television this week you saw Mitt Romney getting booed at the NAACP convention for saying he would repeal Obamacare. It was running on a virtual loop all over cable news.

Then, suddenly, an exclusive report about a black woman being considered as Romney's running mate pops up on the Drudge Report.

GOP sources say Matt Drudge is the go-to guy for a top Romney aide when he wants to change a narrative about his candidate."

Romney also got a standing ovation at the end of his speech for his remarks about the family.

She left her job as governor because Dem lawyers were making her life miserable, suing her for everything.

And while she might have lost some independent voters, I think she did pump up the base who weren't very excited about McCain.

In the final analysis, I think Palin was a wash.
