Yes - I have been saying that for a while now. It works. It makes sense. People say Cain lacks political experience to get his idea through a Congress, even a GOP Congress. Well Newt knows how the House works. And as VP he will sit there with all the Senators every day, as President Pro-Tem of the Senate he even gets to use their steam room :-)
Newt gives Cain lots of help in moving his agenda through Congress. It also blunts the criticism that he doesn’t have political experience. It is not his job as president to be a politician. It is his job to lead the nation. Let the VEEP do the politicking for him.
I agree with your posts that Newt could prop up Cain. Only because he would need that very much or he will be trounced the moment his feet hit the washington pavement.
But the more I hear that Cain isn’t laying the “ground work” he needs in the states, such as iowa etc. the more I question is his ultimate plan to run but with the idea he’d be willing to serve in Washington in any capacity they might offer...and that by running he has the visual and platform to be noticed he would not have otherwise.
Either way he would be good for the nation I think....few that disagree IMO.
