My thought is: Hate on Romney, but having Gingrich as VP, Newt could take all of the hits so to speak. Like Nixon/Agnew. Have a guy at the top while your second in command sticks it to the media. And doesn't back down. Would this be OK with FReepers? Looks like a fait accompli as far as Romney. Maybe we can get a nice VP who will stick it.

Yes. Whatever it takes to vote Obama out.

You must be kidding? Mr. Newt should take 2nd seat to anyone in this race. Maybe Mr. Newt could offer him a seat on his economic team?

EAGLES UP MR. NEWT! To hell with Romney.

It’s not a question of ‘living with it.’

It’s a question of whether they are willing to do what is necessary to do to fix the communist/socialist train wreck that Obammie and his Commies have orchestrated.

To me, the answer is no.

At this point, all that I hope to get out of the next four years is to prevent Obammie the Commie from picking two justices for the USSC.

But I believe were are headed for complete financial Armageddon by 2015 and that it can’t be avoided.

If Republicans are in the WH, the left will ensure everyone and their grandmother blames ‘capitalists,’ the ‘free market,’ and ‘conservatives,’ and not the DemocRATS and the RINOs that caused this.

Yeah, but he isn’t going to pick Newt.

Rubio will be the VP, because if Florida doesn’t go red, Obama will be re-elected.

New York, California, and Florida going blue is game over.

No and I would lose all respect for Newt if he decided to run with Romney. I hate Romney that much.

Nope, if Romney is on the top of the ticket, I’m out, and many others with me. We’ve been warning the GOPers about this forever, but they haven’t been listening.

Cest la vie. It’s more important to discipline the GOP as an opposition force to liberalism/socialism, than to win at any cost and accept socialism into the party. Hell the GOP is bad enough as it is with Boehner and McConnell as the power bloc.

In other words, I would rather lose the presidency than accept a statist-lite at the head of the GOP.

Maybe Romney takes McCain. How bad would that be...I couldn’t even imagine. Isn’t Christie his best pal? But the running mate would be the guy who endorsed him very early besides Christie.think people...who would that be? One thing I feel is He won’t take Newt...

A better question would be, Could Newt live with a Romney/Gingrich ticket? I suspect his answer would be a resounding NO!

I’m not sure about that. Gingrich was Speaker of the House.
VP is a step up, so to speak. He may go for it if asked.

Odd coincidence.

I was thinking about exactly this possible pairing, this afternoon.

Might be the solution actually.

YOU have just blown my mind with this post. LOL!!

The neophyte frat boy Rick NEVER thought of this scenario!

He can’t read signals if you drew pictures, but what a coux for Romney to negotiate such a deal with Newt!

Newt would negotiate Romney right out of his magic underwear before he would consent to such an explosive idea!

Rick needs to smell the coffee. He has perked it, and is perched where he is now, on the back of Newt Gingrich taking all the fire from the kill machine alone, so Rick could have a free field to romp, in state after state.

I also believe we are past the tipping point, and that informs my strategy that Romney is unacceptable with any VP. At best he would delay the system crash, at worst he would hasten it and get all the blame, taking the GOP down with him.

On the other hand, no presidential candidate, except maybe Ron Paul*, truly gets the fiscal nightmare we are in and the oncoming train called hyperinflationary/deflationary collapse.

*I’m not a Paulbot, because I am doubtful that Paul would be willing or able to save the system. He simply comes closest to recognizing the problem.

Since I not only dislike Romney, but loathe Gingrich, the answer is an easy ‘No!’.
