Let's face political hard facts....not just deal with emotions.

Newt won't pick a Veep from another southern state that adjoins his own. He won't pick Rubio either. He's just throwing Floridian West's name out right now because his next hurdle is the Florida primary and it makes political good sense to do so.

We Florida freepers love Rep. West, but he's still too lightweight to put on a ticket, let alone the consideration of the geographical obstacle.

I have a feeling Newt would pick someone we haven't thought of too much, someone conservative with good business or legislative skills, someone from a more industrial state....someone who will electrify us.

Newt is a savvy politician....he would pick someone that balances the ticket geographically, someone who would add the weight of experience to it, someone from a state with a substantial electoral vote....and someone who would sit well with conservatives.

I have a strong hunch we would lick our chops at Newt's selection for a running mate.

Good points, MinuteGal.

Very good points, friend. Now you have me thinking about “whom” you are thinking about as Newt's possible choice!

I could see the addition of Allen West to the ticket putting an end to the DEM/Media constant claim of “racism” for every negative comment concerning Obama’s policies. The groundwork has already been laid for that to continue. Allen would certainly call them out on it at every turn!

Why? Is that a constitutional law written in stone?
