Who says a Vice-President can't be brilliant?
I thought this was a good idea in July:
American Digest: How to Destroy the Democratic Party in One Brief Presidential ElectionGeorge W. Bush will be nominated as the Republican candidate for President in 2004. There's no dispute here. Richard Cheney will also be nominated as Vice-Presidential candidate for 2004. He's done a great job and there's no reason to break up a winning team. Coming out of the convention, the Bush / Cheney ticket will be a done deal.
But it is not, I fear, the ticket that can destroy the Democratic Party. Hence, it simply won't do. After the convention, it will have to change.
It will have to change some time after the convention. Not a short time after, but not a long time either. The beginning of August would be about right. Just about then Mr. Cheney's health will become an issue. He will have to have a complete work-up and during that work-up it will be discovered that his heart simply cannot be depended upon. He will, regretfully but for the good of the country and the Republican party, withdraw his name from the ticket.
At that time, it will be up to the President to find and confirm, with all appropriate consultation and following the rituals and laws in this regard, another person for the Vice-Presidential slot. It is at this time the President must turn to the only person in his administration that can deliver absolute victory for the Republicans, destroy the Democrats for decades, and move the Republic of the United States of America into the 21st Century.
Gentle reader, I give you the next Vice-President of the United States: Condolezza Rice.
It's even better in October:
"Welcome to BushRice04.org, where our mission is to convince President Bush that his best chance at reelection, and the Republican party's best chance for victory in 2008, is to choose Condoleezza Rice as his running mate in the 2004 presidential election."

You should not get so intoxicated by Condi as to forget that she doesn't have any experience at all in elective office. Before she can be a credible President (and therefore, before she can be a good VP candidate), she needs to put in some time as a congresscritter or governor, at the very least.

Did you ever consider that that could be a plus?
