The comment below was provided by Section 9 on yesterday's post entitled "Condi, Who U Votin' Fo?" Can't vouch for the info, but it certainly does sound plausible.
Earlier this year, some of the people associated Dr. Rice had floated her name as a possible McCain Vice-Presidential pick. This occured after Condi had visited Grover Norquist's Wednesday meeting of conservative leadership at Americans for Tax Reform. It was significant that she was there.Well, within a week, people close to the McCain campaign were out trashing her, even though McCain himself had said nothing but nice things about her. Apparently, some of McCain's underlings were far more partial to Romney or Tim Pawlenty than they were to Rice, and let it be known in no uncertain terms. Unfortunately for McCain, aside from his campaign's studied incompetence, his staff didn't realize that disrespect works both ways. As can be seen from this interview, it can cut very, very deep.
Bet the McCain people wish they could take back some of the trash talk from last February, don't they? Too late.
I just wonder now if this now qualifies Condi for "ABW" status (Angry Black Woman). What do you think? Much obliged Section 9 for the info.
