So, another speculation wagon has left the station. This one claiming that Condoleezza Rice is clamoring for the second spot on the John McCain presidential ticket. Several commentators have hinted around that Rice is the perfect counter to either Clinton or Obama.

Surely American voters aren't shallow enough to vote for (or against) someone just because of their gender. And we're all past all of that racial stuff where people will vote for (or against) someone just because of their skin color. Think again.
