Will there be a female Vice President nominee for either party(Republican/Democratic)?

Condaleeza Rice may get the republican nomination if Obama wins the democrat nomination then Mccain may choose Condee as this would trump any 'race card' Obama would be able to play.

And it might be a way for McCain to gain the vote of dissatisfied Clinton supporters.

Is this limited to nominees endorsed (ratified) by the Republican or Democratic national convention, or any nominee?

Hillary Clinton, if not selected by Obama, may receive a nomination from the floor of the convention -- at which point she would be a nominee.

Hi,

An earlier comment by which may have caused confusion due to it's incorrectness has been deleted. In reply to Roger's question the VP markets will settle based on announcement.

Hear me out on this.
While it is highly unlikely, I would like to see Hillary Clinton as VP for McCain. Man, would that stir up the pot and increase odds that McCain would win.
This would show a certain political unity between R's and D's.
They both appreciate a strong military.
Together they have a combined amount of job experience that cannot be matched.
And it would draw a higher percentage of D voters than anything else he can do.

Whoa, chatarra you ARE bold... but let's play this out... are you imagining that this would be a method of ensuring that the conservative right ALL stay home, or do you have big bucks on my market about third party candidates? I can't imagine what a wholesale revolt on the right would result from your scenario.

Here's a salute to pics4d -- who created this question!

V&H:
I had the same reaction when I first read about this theory.
But can you name one other single person who could influence voters to the same degree?

To avoid a full fledged revolt, HRC would have to be adamant and persistent about her support for McCain and what they can accomplish together.

Somebody has to cross the line of demarcation that exists between the parties, so that our political process can stop being so divided.

If HRC is anyone's VP, the president better watch his step! She knows the rule about VP's becoming President when certain things happen!

My vote for Obama VP:
Al Franken

Than again, I do not want to see Obama become our next President.
and I predict he won't become our next President either.

Half of the world and even some loyal Republicans currently hate the Republican party and the best Obama can do in the polls is a very close race with a slight lead.

Condoleezza Rice will NOT be McCain's choice, that would be kissing his chances goodbye, she represents many of Bush's failed foreign policies (unfair? maybe, but that's how many see her). And there isn't a snowballs chance in hell Hilary is going to be McCain's VP, but if that ever happened, it would definitely backfire on the republicans. No democrat will vote in favor of that ticket and many of Clinton's policy supporters wouldn't back her either because it would mean she changed her positions.

Condoleezza Rice should not be anywhere near the White House. She has failed in foreign policy in the middle east, russia, south america... while she is a smart lady, she simply doesn't have the firm convictions it takes to be a policy maker.

And the winner is...Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Yeah, that's a female...

Wow! I cleaned up here! And I wasn't in the HRC cam.
