Last night I caught the tail end of a discussion on MSNBC they were talking about who John McCain might choose for his running mate. Condoleezza Rices name came up.

I hadnt given much thought to who might be slotted for the Veep job on the Republican side, but shes certainly an intriguing choice

Readers over at the REAL CLEAR POLITICS blog were asked to come up with a short list for John McCain to consider. They had Condi right up there at the top, along with some other familiar names and a couple of lessers-knowns.

Condoleezza Rice
JC Watts
Sarah Palin
Michael Steele
Colin Powell
Charlie Crist
Bobby Jindal
Mitt Romney
Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
Kay Bailey Hutchison
John Kasich
Newt Gingrich
John Thune
Mike Huckabee
Joe Lieberman
Tom Ridge

Have you got any others to suggest?
