This WNBC/Marist Poll of New York State reports:

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN 2008

A MCCAIN/RICE TICKET WOULD EDGE OUT BOTH A CLINTON/OBAMA OR OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET FOR NEW YORK’S 31, USUALLY TRUE BLUE, ELECTORAL VOTES:

49% of registered voters in New York State support a John McCain/Condoleezza Rice ticket compared with 46% who support Hillary Clinton as president and Barack Obama as vice president. The Democrats don’t fare any better in New York with Obama at the top of the ticket as president and Clinton as vice president. McCain/Rice receives 49%, and Obama/Clinton has 44%. Although an Obama led Democratic ticket does better against McCain/Rice among non-enrolled voters than a Clinton/Obama ticket, Clinton/Obama is stronger with women against the Republicans.

McCain doesn't want her.

he's a fool. wrap up the black and the female vote all in one.

[GaryC 7]

McCain doesn't want her.

Maybe. This may also be a trial balloon to see the reaction. He still has months to choose a VP.

Extremely doubtful. This female would never vote for her. Most black people don't vote Republican, either.

Does every white male that runs for office wrap up your vote, Charles?

Ok I just browsed freerepublic.com to see what the right-wing echo chamber thinks about Condi.

Some choice excerpts... they are very representative of the threads I saw.

***********

Picking Rice would be a huge stategic mistake for McCain.

***********

I think he is going to pick Hillary after she loses to Obama

***********

Yes, yes yes!!! I think she’d be great...Her story is the most incredibly uplifting as anything I’ve ever heard. It surpassess Clarence Thomas...

***********

Rice is pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, and pro-gun control.

NO to Condi!

***********

Is Rice also pro-affirmative action? Why is she still not married?

***********

Is that Condalezza-"I know what it's like to be Palistinian cause I grew up black in the US-Rice."?

Bleh. No thanks.

***********

She is doing her best to destroy Israel.

***********

I used to admire Condi as Secretary of State, before she went over to the dark side and started playing footsie with the Palestinian terrorists and the Kosovo terrorists.

***********

She says she is only mildly pro-abortion. What on earth does that mean? That she’d only cut the babies in half, instead of quarters?

***********

Condi the Jooo-hating dingbat, now ‘pro-choice’ is a perfect running mate for the stinkin’ commie Obama.

***********

I think Condi is immensely qualified for the VP slot - I disagree with some of her policy stands, abotion is one of them.

I have to agree with the McCain/Rice ticket overpowering any other ticket especially since I usually vote blue and if she joined the ticket this would be the first year I'd vote Red. See my post in the Rice courts VP spot with McCain thread for a better perspective.

I don't think that strengthens the ticket. People associate Condy with Bush more than they do McCain and really thats probably not good for McCain.

Exactly. If McCain moves any closer to the Bush administration - and having Condi on the ticket would accomplish just that - he's done.

[Caladan 19]

I don't think that strengthens the ticket. People associate Condy with Bush more than they do McCain and really thats probably not good for McCain.

I think this is right. Condi in particular is perceived to be close to Bush, and most of McCain's appeal has to come from being able to distance himself from this adminisitration.

until this point in time, has there been any other choice?

Incorrect.

Don't you remember Dan Quayle?

Look at his wife and tell me that he ISN'T gay.....
