I also used to advocate Gingrich for the VP slot, thinking this was a practical way to get the benefits of Good Newt while limiting the scope of damage that could be done by Bad Newt.
But I think Gingrich may become so embittered and angry over this process that he won’t be able to subordinate himself to his boss, the President, the way that is necessary for our system to work.
It’s a long process. We’ll see.
“It’s a long process. We’ll see.”
And it should be entertaining, as well. I just hope we don’t allow the left to, yet again, choose our nominee for us.
And I still think the Newt could be much more effective if freed from the constraints of the top job. I hope his ego will allow him to see this, if he really puts the health of our country before his personal ambition.
