I think McCain has to nominate either a woman or an African American for VP. Rice fills both categories. But frankly I think her shelf life is long past. Colin Powell would be an interesting choice, but I doubt Powell has the stomach for being an outsider in yet another right wing Republican Administration. @Rupa Shah:

He would have a woman on the ticket, it would help chill his rhetoric about 100 years in Iraq and with the administration making a U turn in its policy towards Iran, he could take credit for being a diplomat if an agreement IS WORKED OUT with the Iranians. That would be a real dream ticket for the republicans! If Sen McCain really wanted to give Sen Obama competition, he should choose Sec Rice.

That would be the neo-conservative-invade-Iran-and-Syrian Dream Ticket...
