it may be that Newt is just throwing this out to attract Sarah supporters; my though is that Sarah has already declined running for POTUS, so why would she ever accept to play 2nd fiddle to Newt, when the VP job entails almost as much disruption to family life as the number one spot.

Meanwhile, CBS is posting this story because they think that Sarah has enough baggage to add to Newt's to insure that Romney or Ron Paul will win the nomination. CBS is ever-present in their quest to protect their boy Barry.

Either way, I don't see it happening, besides the earlier stories were that Newt would "consider" Palin, among others, for the VP slot...so now the liberal loonies are going to spin it to their advantage.

I agree, this is BS. Of course Newt would not rule out considering Sarah. Why should he? But she's out of the race for this year and everyone knows it, including Newt. Just more media instigation stirring up static.

Sarah Palin declined to run this time for one reason only: She is a polarizing figure even within the Republican Party. Her numbers plateaued far below Romney with greater name recognition. She saw this, and realized that she needs to add to her resume. Seasoning within an upcoming Republican admistration would make her a formidable candidate. In the mean time, she is making she gets free publicity and big buck from FOX for staying out of politics, but look for her to endorse the strongest not-Romney/not-Paul candidate (if there still is one) in late spring.

Newt came out hard in defense of Sarah Palin was she was named VP. He tore the reporter apart for questioning her credentials by hammering out a list of Sarah's accomplishments and juxtaposing it against Obama's LACK of accomplishments.

Left the LSM reporter dumbfounded.

Newt whoops ass in defense of Palin
