A rumor broke on the Drudge Report last night that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is "near the top" of Mitt Romney's shortlist for vice presidential running mates.

Here's what conservative commentator and RedState editor Erick Ericksonhad to say about it in a blog post:

Condelizza Rice is pro-abortion.

She worked for George Bush for eight years.

In those eight years at National Security and then at State, our relations with Russia deteriorated though she was an expert in that field. Central and South America went to pot as well, the ramifications of which still have not been sorted out. She was one of George Bush’s most trusted advisors and her supporters would have you believe that everything bad that happened, happened because of Cheney and Rumsfeld.

In short, Erickson is all for it.
