Speaking at a conference Thursday on "The Next Human Leap," former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said there's one leap she won't be taking -- joining the upcoming presidential race as the Republican nominee for vice president.

"I know what I'm not cut out to do," said Rice, in response to a question at the annual Outlook Conference in San Jose sponsored by the Bay Area Business Council.

Now, sayings like "I have no intention of ..." or "I'm not thinking about that..." or "I do not seek..." can get rolled back. But "I know what I'm not cut out to do" is pretty final. Who's going to pick someone who has already said they're not able to do it? The Democratic ads would write themselves.
