Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential search is in full swing and one of the names mentioned to be on his short list is former Secretary of State in the Bush Administration, Condoleezza Rice. Watch the above clip from our PRESS Pass interview with Rice in March of this year, to see how she answered when David asked if she would be willing to serve as the number two on the Republican ticket.

CONDOLEEZZA RICE: David, we've been through this question many times in my--

CONDOLEEZZA RICE: It's not for me. I love policy, I love public service. I'm very involved in a lot of issues, including this K-12 education issue that Joel Klein and I've been working on.
DAVID GREGORY: I see a little bit of room there, just a little bit of room.
CONDOLEEZZA RICE: And -- David, you must-- you must be listening to somebody else. (LAUGH) No, I'm, I’m awfully happy doing what I'm doing.

So sad the thought of Rice being VP would only bring back the shock of the Bin Laden Memo Rice disregarded. Then the overseas charges of War Crimes along with Bush/Cheney. Dick Cheney announced he canceled his book promotion in Canada due to the possible arrest inter poll. Connie Rice was treated with disrespect by Foreign Leaders. Putin had her wait for 45 minutes and gave her 15 minutes of his time saying she was Dick Cheney's messenger. The Saudi King said all she could do was play the piano for entertainment.
