Condi Rice as you've never seen her: She's really running!

Recently, we're published a few items about Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice may be running for the vice presidential nomination to be on a Republican White House ticket with Arizona Sen. John McCain. All the signs are there, as we noted here in detail on The Ticket on Tuesday.

She denies it.

Whatever.

We'll believe it when we don't see it.

Californian and Secretary of State Condeleeza Condi Rice is running for her own health now as well as, who knows, maybe something political soon as a vice president with Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona

Meanwhile, right now Rice is running for something else: Her own health. Shari Roan, our LATimes.com colleague over at the new Booster Shots blog, has scored an inside look at an inside look at a Condi Rice workout at the gym.

Trained as a figure skater and concert pianist, Rice is up at 4:30 a.m. daily to work out, watches the news and ESPN and sweats like a globe-trotting secretary of State working out in the early morning hours.

She' s even got a personal trainer and feels really good about herself, she says, now that the Californian has passed the big 5-0. She feels especially good running up stairs.

Or, being in top shape for a 53-year-old, maybe doing a different kind of running someday soon with a 71-year-old?

Shari's got the full report here.

Amusing.

Not happening.

I WISH Condoleeza was part of the ticket. She's an outstanding woman and role model for young and, hey, let's face it, those of us who are well into our middle years. You go, girl!

Sure, the national security director who didn't bring POTUS' attention to al Qaeda in the run-up to 9/11, yeah, she'd be great on the ticket.

Her veracity on matters involving Iraq would put her in good stead with her running mate, I guess.

She's not going to run against Obama.

As a democrat I hope that Condi runs on the Republican ticket. That would guarantee a democratic victory. This idea that Condi is going to bring the woman or black vote to the republican party is a joke and shows how desperate the party truly is. Maybe Condi can help McCain find Al-Qaeda in Iran. Freaking idiots.

Another distraction.

She's been a disaster for America. Can't wait until she gets out of gov't and cashes in at Exxon.

Andrew MalcolmAndrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions.

A veteran foreign and national correspondent, Malcolm served on the Times Editorial Board and was a Pulitzer finalist in 2004. He is the author of 10 nonfiction books and father of four.
