- bmacklowe 2012/04/07 18:25:41 (edited)yesI can see a scenario where, if asked, Gingrich would agree to be VP. He is not likely to run for any other public office should he lose the nomination for President. Being vice-president would appeal to his sense of history, and there is the (slight) possibility that he could be President should anything unfortunate happen to whoever is on the top of the ticket. The man is 68 now. People might vote for a 68 year old as President, but no one older has ever been elected for a first term. When Reagan was inaugurated he was 69, and no one since has been able to do that. Just ask Bob Dole and John McCain. So that leaves out 2016. Aside from all that, the former Speaker would bring invaluable experience and knowledge to the campaign. And he wouldn't be afraid to be Romney or (Santorum)'s attack-dog. Plus, he's from the South, which Romney (if he gets the nomination) will need to win.reply
- Mark 2012/03/12 21:23:49yesIt seems he has tried to be elected as president every election since the 80s. After all that effort, he at least deserves the silver medal of vice presidentreply

- Nam Era Vet #1 DNA TLC 2012/03/09 21:00:45no+2I have been raised with crooked Georgia poltics. And Newt is the epitomy of it. Some elderly lady on TV mind you, said that Newt was a "Good Ol' boy" even though Newt was originally from Pennsylvania, and he now lives in Virginia (where he wasn't even on the ballot, they consider him a "Good Ol' Boy" Why? Becuase he fits right in with the corrupt politics that now runs this state and is passing laws to limit voting rights and make it a felony to protest their corrupt regime publically. Do people really want the rest of America run like that?reply

- The Sane One 2012/03/09 20:44:56no+1The VP would (or at least should) be someone who can bring something positive to the table. I see Newt as a divider and someone who would be negative, rather than a positive force uniting the GOP.reply

You think the other side (President Obama) won't be negative? Listen, we would all like politics to be a polite game of chess, but it just isn't.reply - The San... bmacklowe 2012/04/07 19:12:13
+1Obama/Biden unified the Democrats. Gingrich won't be able to unify the GOP.reply - bmacklowe The San... 2012/04/13 16:20:44 (edited)
I'm not so sure about that. Gingrich still holds a respected place within the party because of what he accomplished in the 1990s. Sure there are those who say he finished the decade on a low note, but he was exhonerated of any charges by the IRS after it was all said and done. And even people who did not support him for president in this cycle have often referred to him as an impressive ideas man. So people in the party, by and large, do like him to some extent. I think he'd be an asset, and that Romney (now that Santorum's gone from the race) would be foolish to not at least seriously consider him.reply - cjd 2012/03/09 20:43:37no+1noreply
