Over at the USA Today blog, DeWayne Wickham speculates on the possibility of Senator McCain choosing Condoleezza Rice as his running mate.

For months now there has been a grassroots effort, called "Think Condi 08," to build a groundswell of support for making Rice the Republican vice presidential candidate. But so far it hasn't taken hold — and there's no evidence that Rice even wants the nomination.

McCain should try mightily to change this. The excitement Democrats have shown for Obama and Clinton has produced record turnouts in many of the party's primaries and caucuses. Republicans have generated no similar level of enthusiasm.

By picking Rice for the second slot, McCain would make this a historic election for Republicans, too. He'd also link the GOP to a surprisingly long line of blacks who have been a political party's choice to be president or vice president.

Condi Rice does have an impressive resume. Though, from all reports I've heard she has shown no interest in holding a higher office. Naturally the speculation on who Senator McCain chooses will continue...
