Allen West, in discussing what the Republican Party needs to do to get black voters into the Republican party, was asked which presidential candidate has the conservative principles to help turn the tide of high unemployment in the black community, and he was quick to point out that despite those on the left accusing Newt of race-baiting, he believes that Newt is the one who is diagnosing the problem well and is trying to open a dialogue with the black community by offering to speak before the NAACP.

VP for Pres. Gingrich? Me thinks so.

Sounds good to me. Eight years as Veep, then eight years as POTUS.

[Gator113]

Good for West.

Gingrich/West. Allen said he would accept if asked. Good for taking over some Fl delegates.

I’d prefer West/Gingrich, but Gingrich/West ain’t a bad start, either.

I think Gingrich/West would be a stunningly great ticket.

[teenyelliott]

How fantastic would that be????!!!!

West hosted the 1st Black Conservative Forum on the Hill. It aired on CSPAN last night. Star Parker moderated. It was heartening.

JC Watts of OK suggested holding Frederick Douglas up as a historical model for their cause.

This primary is really helping us separate the wheat from the chaff.

I'd vote for that ticket. Or see West as Sec of Def.

[Qwackertoo]

Sing it loud.

[Leep]

Go West young man (and lady)

“I think Gingrich/West would be a stunningly great ticket.”

...They sure as hell wouldn’t pull any punches....

I have been favorable to such a ticket long before West would acknowledge freeing himself with support of his constituents from his obligation to the voters in Florida. As time has progressed West more and more has demonstrated what this Nation needs today as to intelligent leadership in military areas but also in Constitutional requirements. That Newt has indicated a liking for West which I believe others have not, the stage has been set for such a ticket. It would be a political earthquake.

Can we take that as an endorsement? Gingrich/West 2012 works for me.

[dfwgator]

I agree, the reason I support Newt, despite all of his flaws, is that he is the one candidate that can go into the Lion’s Den, and make his case eloquently.

That Newt has indicated a liking for West which I believe others have not, the stage has been set for such a ticket. It would be a political earthquake. With that ticket, it would be impossible to lose. Not only would it Newter the race card argument, but would draw some black voters to our side.

Gingrich/West!

Yep, I said that a few debates ago.
