Condoleezza Rice As Mitt Romney's VP Running Mate?

Noonan: Ennui the People -- Peggy Noonan

America is in crisis. Why is the presidential campaign so lifeless?

The 2012 presidential election is unusual. It is a crisis election like 1932 or 1980, with the American people knowing we're at a turning point and knowing that who we pick now really matters.
