Well, I’ve been under a rock all day and haven’t come across this juicy rumor until just now. Even if it doesn’t happen, the fact that White House staffers are all abuzz about it is news in and of itself.
Strangely, Drudge doesn’t have a word about this. The story seems to have first broken at one of his more left-wing counterpart sites. Huge props to the New York Daily News if it comes true; they seem to be the first major media outlet to run with it.
Coincidentally, The Wife is reading The Autobiography of Henry VIII, and just today, she got to the part where Thomas More lost his head. Life imitates art based on life?
But, I digress. Just say the words for a moment and wallow in their meaning. Vice-President Condoleeza Rice. Then consider this bit of trivia: fourteen of the forty-six Vice-Preisdents in U.S. history (31%) have become President themselves, either through succession or subsequent election in their own right, and since 1952, every Presidential campaign in which the incumbent President was not running for re-election has featured a Vice-President at the top of at least one of the two major party tickets.
