To be honest, Romney’s best bet if he won the primary would be to pick Newt for his V.P. Those two is where the greatest divisiveness among the Republican electorate is. That would inevitably help unite the party. If those two were able to “kiss and make up” it would be hard for Romney and Newt supporters to keep fighting. I know Romney would do it if he thought it would help him since he has core values. And despite the hype, Newt is not a mean or angry person at all and doesn’t hold grudges. He would always be willing to forgive and forget for the good of the country or the party. And he would of course love to be at the table of helping to set right national policy even in the V.P. slot. As the two best vote-getters in the primary so far, they would arguably make an electorally strong ticket for defeating Obama. I have no interest in voting for Romney but the only way he could secure my vote would be to pick Newt as V.P. I have a feeling Romney would be willing to admit to Newt behind-the-scenes that he isn’t prepared and would take Newt’s advice. The only real hope with Romney is that because he has no core values, he would agree to let someone else feed him conservative policy which he would just follow. But I would certainly hope Newt does NOT pick Romney if he ends up at the top of the ticket.

Newt has already been third in line for the presidency, why would he settle for 2nd place. Terrible idea, conservatives would never forgive him if he were to help Romneycare Romney. IMO.
