If you want to imagine such a thing, don't try to mix politicians with completely different agendas.

Colin Powell is the person you should match up with Obama.

YES!!!

Rice is a "baffle them with BS" artist in the same mold as Bush/Cheney. These are the kind of people that the Obama supporters are trying to get rid of.

How do stupid people think of these stupid things?

Fixed!!

An Obama/Rice ticket makes about the same sense as a Obama/Keyes ticket, and Obama won against Keyes in '04.
Powell lost credibility under bush/cheney/rumsfeld/wolfowitz/ashcroft. Don't think he can recover. Sorta like mccain.

I do agree that he lost a lot of his credibility, but in some ways I respect him more for the way he actually did oppose Bush as Secretary of State. It seemed he had enough BS in Bush's first term, so he retired.

Some have considered a cross partisan ticket and even Obama has run on a campaign based on change and not doing business as usual. Is there something prohibiting a mixed ticket?
Furthermore, why not Condi? She's bright and experienced already in foreign affairs.

I know many are hoping Hillary gains the 2nd chair but if for some reason there is no chemistry or enough collaboration on both parts, I think Rice as VP would be a nice change for the government.

Lets step away from race for a minute. How would choosing Ms Rice help Mr Obama win over swing voters and groups that are leaning towards Mr McCain?

I would respect him also if he actually fought back. I don't know that he did though. The image of him testifying at the u.n. is burned into my brain. Hopefully, those blatant lies made him lose sleep and reevaluate his most basic values.

I used to have _tremendous_ respect for him.

Agreed she is just a yes person for bush.
