iReporters yearn for Condoleezza Rice

Speculation has been rampant about whom Mitt Romney will select as his running mate, and iReporters have their own views.

• CNN asked iReporters to weigh in on who they think would make the best GOP VP pick
• Condoleezza Rice was the most popular pick among iReporters, but she's said she won't run
• Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Rob Portman and Tim Pawlenty were among the other top choices

(CNN) -- Some voters are still pining for Mitt Romney to pick a dream running mate who's likely out of reach -- a candidate who has said she won't run.

"Gov. Romney, if you're watching, please pick Condoleezza Rice," said Geoffrey Phillips, a Romney supporter in Cotati, California. "She's going to help you with your expertise and foreign affairs, and she has all the experience you're looking for. I think she will help swing the election your way when it comes time. I think she'll add that excitement that your campaign needs."

CNN asked iReporters across the political spectrum to weigh in on who would best fill out Romney's ticket. Among the dozens of responses, Rice, the former secretary of state under George W. Bush, was the most popular pick. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty were among other popular choices.
