HUGE NEWS!!!
Steve Clemons reports that Condoleezza Rice spoke to Grover Norquist’s weekly GOP briefing meeting:
What are these weekly meetings?? Clemons explains:
At the semi-secret gatherings which Republican
political hopefuls migrate to to get the blessing of not only Norquist
but the diverse parts of the nation’s conservative money and political
machinery, Norquist gives everyone in the room 3 minutes to pitch their
cause or issue. I have attended before, but if one wants to attend
again — no one may write or speak about the internal discussion or who
attended.
This has started speculation that Dr. Rice may be hearing the call of the people after all!
Clemons spoke with a GOP insider who said:
As one major Republican operative told me yesterday:
Someone like Condi Rice doesn’t go to Grover Norquist’s den to talk
about the Annapolis Middle East peace process. She’s going to secure
her future in Republican politics and to position herself as a
‘potential’ VP candidate on the McCain ticket.
After the meeting Clemons reported her remarks:
The first question Condoleezza Rice received at the
meeting was one about her “political future.” She responded by saying
that she was not interested in more government service at this point —
that she wanted to return to California and write a book that reflected
on her time and work in the Bush administration. So, she is
telegraphing a “no” about the possibility of a Vice Presidential
possibility.
Others still argue that one does not talk serious foreign policy
matters with the Wednesday Group Meeting without wanting to also
telegraph that one might be interested in political futures. In other
words, though saying she is not interested in the Vice Presidential
slot on a McCain ticket, Condoleezza Rice might be convinced at some
point to give up her near California dreams if “necessity” required it.
Now it’s our time to tell McCain we want Condi. Have you sent your e-mail, postcard, and donation to McCain’s camp yet??
You can also help the effort by buying a “Think Condi” t-shirt or an
“I Like Condi” button. Shirts are $15. Buttons are $1. To order send an

Keep the momentum going!!!
