According to the ABC report, the Washington Post published an op-ed recently about how some conservatives view Rice favorably because she’s the “anti-Palin”,  and then Bill Kristol predicted that she is a frontrunner, because Ann Romney told CBS that they are considering a woman vice presidential candidate.

Rice, 57, was born in Birmingham, Ala. She was National Security Adviser under George W. Bush before becoming Secretary of State.
