At the same time, without thinking too far ahead, he needs a good long term pick to follow him in a run for the White House, unlike the Bush screw-ups picks of Quayle and Cheney, both unelectable.
I totally agree with this. Plus, Condi has repeatedly said she won't run for elected office - so, it's sort of moot. If we're looking at a female, I'd look at someone like a Kay Bailey Hutchinson first.
