Former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser and current President of Stanford University has received recent media attention as a top-ranking potential V.P. choice of Mitt Romney. We hope he does bring the Republican into the 21st century beating the Democrat Party to the punch in placing the first woman inn the Vice Presidential post. The Republican Party ought to recognize that when a quality female candidate-especially a black woman-with the best qualifications to serve the nation is eligible yet passed over it diminishes the trust minorities would place in the party that their personal effort would receive commensurate reward.
The late President Ronald Reagan modernized the White House doomsday communication system informally when Soviet subs off the East Coast launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike would only give the President six minutes to determine if he ought to launch America's missiles at the Soviet targets before Washington D.C. was incinerated. The President decided that instead of evacuating the Oval Office at first early warning to fly to a safe location he would remain right there managing until the last the world's fate. Yet three teams of successors would leave earlier to go to different, safe and undisclosed locations; the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the Secretary of State. One believes that if some disaster affected American and world destiny one day that Condolizza Rice would be capable of filling the role more than adequately in the emergency.
If a President Romney selects Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be his Secretary of State he will have a capable third team member with valuable experience in world affairs and running a large organization.
