There is a rumor that Condoleeza Rice could be Mitt Romney's vice-presidential nominee. Rice denies this and says she doesn't want to re-enter politics. But as the NYTimes reports, "a barnburner of a speech" Rice gave to Romney's donors a few weeks ago, "apparently created a boomlet of support for her potential candidacy."

As I extrapolate from the report I see the following: "A barnburner of a speech creates a boomlet of support." Alliteration in politics! The English language in connection with politics is going places. Orwell would've been happy.
