Newt Gingrich tells CNN's Wolf Blitzer he would consider Mitt Romney to be a potential running mate (VIDEO). The interview is very much in keeping with Gingrich’s “keep it classy” campaign theme so far — and he treaded lightly, sounding neither overly enthusiastic about a VP Romney nor overly displeased with the idea.
But why did he take the bait at all? He could just as easily have remained indifferent, have answered with a simple, “I’d have to give it thought.” He won’t win over Romney supporters — and he significantly owes his own surge to the appetite for an anti-Romney. To praise Romney as “competent” and “serious” might be true as far as it goes — but it also reminds voters that, in some ways, Romney and Gingrich are very much alike. They’re both ambitious, intelligent and susceptible to switching positions.

It was John Nance Garner but he used a word other than spit.
It COULD happen LoL!!
Essentially, Newt is trying to NEUTer Romney.
You’re right.

You’re right.
That’s because Hillary and Huma were busy sewing up TaTa Motors money in India way before zero was able to get in on the action.
Follow the metal and production plants for the cars, and the gas for those millions and millions of cars.
Not gonna happen! Gingrich is just being diplomatic. He’s gotten this far by saving his arrows for Obama and the media. They want the candidates to insult and attack each other; it makes good copy; and he’s not stupid, so he gives them the answer that nobody can fault (except some freepers, apparently) and nobody (e.s.f.) takes seriously.
Two alphas on a ticket, and Romney brings it what, politically? Bupkis.
I believe that she is mad as hell and that we could use her in Operation Chaos II
Perry recently used it with the spit in the interview with Blitzer:
PERRY: Why would I leave being governor of the state of Texas to be vice president?
BLITZER: You’re just in next line to be president of the United States?
PERRY: — very powerful statement about that. Being vice president is not worth a bucket of warm spit.
She certainly dropped the dime on Holder when she testified that the ATF had never submitted a request to the State Dept to export guns to Mexico for operation “Fast and Furious”
Romney can do less damage as vice president than in any other office.
What ever happened to Wiener?
Was Wiener involved with the Tata operation?
Newt's roots are showing. It's that simple.
Korbe was just trying to stir up sh!t. Appears that it worked.
Probably not intrusively.
I think everyone knows Newt will ask Cain to run with him.
It sure WAS looking that way during the Lincoln/Douglas debates. I am not so sure now. I would have to see Cains donation numbers. I could see it happening. They were doing a great job of slammin and jammin.
Good cop bad cop kind of a thing. Sadly it reminded me of Bachmann and Romney. Now we have this unHoly alliance.
Do you have an inkling of who Newt might really want?
Newt answered Marco Rubio in a debate one night for his VP pick.
