as we await jim acosta s interview with mitt romney, there are important new developments in a search for a running mate. we re seeing reports that there is now a short list of possibilities and the biggest name on that so-called short list is the former secretary of state, condoleezza rice. let s bring in dana bash. she s working the story for us. the name has been floated out there for a while. but all of a sudden it s getting a bit more imptous. interesting you used the term floated. there s no question this is a trial balloon and a clever way for the romney campaign to change the sject from a whole bunch of things they would probably rather not talk about today. but since we do know that there are a few people, the romneys and one or two other staffers who really know what s going on with regard to him choosing a vice presidential running mate, we figured we d bite. condoleezza rice for veep? before we go a to z with pros and cons, let s start with why. why team romne
