Will Condi Rice's failures be followed by further promotions?

Condi Rice was an abject failure as National Security Advisor. The attacks of 9/11 happened on her watch, and as Richard Clarke was running around with his hair on fire warning of Al Qaeda, Condi Rice sat on her hands:

Clarke, it turned out, had bombarded national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice in the summer of 2001 with impassioned e-mails and memos warning of an Al Qaeda attack--and urging a more forceful U.S. government response. One e-mail jumped out: it pleaded with officials to imagine how they would feel after a tragedy where 'hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the U.S.,' adding that 'that future day could happen at any time.' The memo was written on Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2001 -- just one week before the attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

She was promoted to Secretary of State after her failures as NSA. As Secretary of State she had no idea Hamas was about to win in Palestinian elections:

The Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, who was afraid of a Hamas rout at the polls, begged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to exert United States pressure and postpone the scheduled elections. Rice refused, Harari said, and told Abbas to go forward. (A State Department spokesman declined to confirm the details of their conversation.)

Now, the furthest right of the right-wing Conservatives at CPAC want Condi to be the Veep nominee on the ticket with John McCain - another promotion after another failed job:

Reporting from the Conservative Political Action Conference, the Wall Street Journal notes that conservative activists Crystal Dueker and Rich Holt are attempting to build support for their 527 group Think Condi, “a grassroots movement to get the secretary of state on the presidential ticket as vice president. Dueker and Holter said “they believe Rice is the best running mate for McCain in part because she can bring Bush supporters into the fold who may be wary of his one-time electoral foe.”
