Newt makes sense as a V.P. because that’s a great spot for a spokesman for the administration to be, someone who can sell the country on conservative policies in speeches and interviews. As President, people might not want him running around making speeches all the time. But with few official duties as V.P. he will be free to be out there educating the American public.
I respect your opinion though I think you are wrong. Rick needs more seasoning and needs to be under a truly great leader like Newt. I did not say great man, I said great leader. Newt can still be a great man, and Rick can be as well. I will vote for Rick Santorum if he is the nominee. I really hope he is not, because I believe he would lose badly. On the other hand Mitt Romney is neither a great man, nor a great leader. Hang in there.
I disagree. The thing a V.P. must do is keep his ego in check and parrot the administration line. Newt is especially ill-suited for this as he seems to be led around by his own ego and spouts off ideas (some good, some odd) that seem to come out of left field and probably will force a president to backtrack on the nutty/unpopular ones.
Newt could have many good places in a cabinet however.
