It is apparent to me, as of late, that Newt would be looking for a Black Conservative to run with him if he were the nominee. Gauging by his respect and friendship with Herman Cain, his comments to Alan West and West not discounting the possibility and again with telling Rep. Tim Scott he was on the short list, this may very well be what we can see.
For Herman, I would not see it as his age would not be conducive to a followup run if Newt were to win and be re-elected. But I would suspect that Newt already has plans for Cain in his possible administration.
For Alan West, I think he would be best to clean up the Pentagon seeing he was a victim of the PC environment running rampant there but he would make a wonderful VP.
Tim Scott could possibly be the best as he is young, relatively, and he is so conservative that joining the Congressional Black Caucus would not be in his best interests.
Very interesting. I did not know a thing about Tim Scott. I just did a Google search. Is he the guy from Tampa?
