Sarah Palin: Condoleezza Rice would be ‘wonderful’

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the last GOP running mate, predicted former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would make a “wonderful” vice president for Mitt Romney.
“I think that Condoleezza Rice would be a wonderful vice president, and she certainly has much more experience than our sitting president does today,” Palin said Thursday night on Fox News’ “On the
Record with Greta van Susteren.”
Palin was reacting to increased speculation Rice would be Romney’s vice-presidential pick, driven by conservative commentators Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh, both of whom have touted Rice in recent days.
Palin, who opposes abortion rights, wasn’t concerned about Rice’s own views on abortion.
“I would certainly prefer a presidential and vice presidential candidate who had that respect for all innocent, precious purposeful human life and showed that respect via being a pro-life candidate,” she said. “We need to remember, though, that it’s not the vice president that would legislate abortion, and that would be Congress’s role. And we’ll keep that in mind.”
For her part, Rice has said in the past she has zero interest in elective politics.
