Rice Not Campaigning for No. 2

Condoleezza Rice wants it known: She is not interested in being vice president.

Sean McCormack, her spokesman, tried on Monday to dampen speculation that erupted Sunday after Dan Senor, a GOP political operative, said on ABC's "This Week" that the secretary of state was "actively, actually, in recent weeks campaigning" for the job.

Questioned at the regular State Department briefing, McCormack said Rice wants to return to Stanford University, where she is a tenured professor.

"If she is actively seeking the vice presidency, then she's the last one to know about it," McCormack said.
