Picking Rice would cause Romney some problems among the GOP base because she has described herself as "mildly pro-choice."

Rice has said she harbors concerns about government's role in abortion choice. But she's opposed to federal funding for abortion and has supported banning late-term abortions and requiring parental notification.

At a candidates' forum last year in South Carolina, Romney said his running mate would have to share his anti-abortion views, as well as his opposition to same-sex marriage. Rice favors allowing gay couples to form civil unions, but not to marry.

Rice, 57, was Bush's national security adviser from 2001 to 2005, before being named secretary of state, a position she held for four years. After that she returned to Stanford University, where she's now a professor in the Graduate School of Business; a director of the Center for Global Business and the Economy; and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

I'm mildly pro and anti everything.

Playing Hard To Get

The former secretary of state is the clear choice of Republican voters to be Romney’s vice president, according to a new Fox News poll that shows her garnering the support of 30 percent of them. Sen.Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is second with 19 percent.


What does it all mean when the press says she should and she says she couldn't? Is there any difference between Condoleezza and Hillary?

Retired

IT was a  two-in-one celebration for those who had for three years worked with the former Chief Judge of Lagos, Justice Inumidun Enitan Akande. 

The retired judge celebrated her 1,004 days of purposeful leadership and exit from the judiciary. 

Justice Akande was the third female and 13th Chief Judge of the state. She was sworn in on September 8, 2009. 

There was no sign that something big was going on inside the Lagos State Judiciary Recreation Centre, Ikeja GRA, but for the exotic cars and police escorts parading the arena.
