That's a ticket that would win
Want to hear a plausible narrative for the 2008 presidential elections? Hillary Clinton wins the primary battle, beating, among others, Obama. Senator John McCain cleans up in the Republican primary. Under threat for not looking like a “with it” candidate, McCain chooses the highest profile woman in Republican politics as his running mate, the Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. Then the Democrats, not wanting to allow the Republicans to have the only candidate of color, nominate Obama as their vice president. The race and gender issues then neutralized across all major parties' candidates, the country then has a fairly typical election based on the issues and candidate experience. The Republicans win by a large majority of electoral votes, and regain control of one of the houses of congress.
