I’m with you. I’d rather see him at the bottom of the ticket myself, but beggars can’t be choosers at this point.
I’m hoping that if he is on the ticket in either spot, that he is the Newt of 90-95. At the Florida Tea Party Convention, I asked him what he could say to convince skeptical tea party folks that he was “the good Newt” again and not “the bad Newt.” He gave a decent answer. History will show if he means it or not.
He’s always been an enigma - very very good when he’s good and some really strange moments off the deep end. If nothing else, he would do the country a service if he could have about three very very good debates versus Obama.
