Considering politics are nothing but a game of chess a la high school superlatives, I’m not surprised Condoleeza’s name is being thrown out. The ‘Pubs are looking for a move that will allow them to split the black/minority vote. It’s the same reason Palin was chosen for McCain’s running mate. They figured there was already a palpable division between women Dems & minority Dems during the ’08 primaries, so throwing a woman on the Pub side was meant to split the woman vote. The clear fallacy was, well, I’m not about to bash another woman right now, so I’ll let you fill in the reason why she didn’t work in that strategy. I’m guessing Condy has the right amount of smarts and melanin to give them hope that this strategy would work if they get the public reaction they’re looking for, especially considering the lack of large scale rallying for Obama in the black/minority community this time around. They’re thinking there may be just enough disgruntled black people that a double-minority running mate might do the trick.
