I find it hilarious that so many people who say that Newt is unacceptable as President think it would be great to make him VP to a guy who is in his 60s and already went through a bought of cancer that should have killed him but is in remission.
If Gingrich isn’t acceptable as President, we shouldn’t make him the VP. It’s not as if the issue with Gingrich is a lack of experience (which is a reason sometimes you put an excellent candidate as VP but not as President because they need a couple of years under their belt).
See, that would be a reason to make Cain VP, so he could actually learn the job of President. Except he’s old enough that in 8 years he’d be unlikely to be a good pick to move into the office. Plus that would be Palin’s slot.
Here is why...
The biggest “real” problem for Cain is his lack of experience, by bringing Gingrich on as his VP he basically removes that objection, because the thinking would be that Gingrich would be there to help him or in other words... Gingrich would bring... gravitas to the ticket :)
Much like Cheney did for Bush.
