Good thinking. I think Newt is rehabbed enough that he’d be perfect for VP or Chief of WH Staff. It’s been long enough that only hard-core Dems would still be as full of hate for him as they always have been (and he’d never expect their votes in any case). Some of our ‘fellow travelers’ won’t forgive him the couch scene w/Nancy, tho.
Few will disagree about Newt’s brilliance. I’ve been arguing her for weeks that whoever gets the nomination will need a partner on the ticket with DC experience. Newt certainly fills that bill. And it’d be the show of the year with him and Biden in a debate. (unless he pulls a Kemp)
Missed the debate tonight, but from what I’m reading here, Perry did better. I like him and Cain but am concerned with some of Cain’s remarks that seem more oriented to his actually seeking the VP slot w/Romney than wanting to be the nominee himself. Perry has enough $$$ to hang in and build his standing back. An interesting few months ahead.
“whoever gets the nomination will need a partner on the ticket with DC experience.”
Whoever gets the nomination will need a VP who can bring in substantial parts of the country’s vote, OR Cut Obama’s base off at the knees.
