Gingrich-Perry Pre-Convention Ticket in the Works

It's a solid choice on the merits, in my opinion, and leaking it not only helps Gingrich in Alabama & Mississippi, but in Texas in a couple months. And while Perry isn't a spring chicken - he's a round 60, I think - he'll be young enough at 2020, after 8 years of service as Vice President, so run for President himself.

"[J}oy ride in a trial balloon," cool. Carl Cameron has a literary streak, not easy for a reporter on deadline.

Smart! I like it.

[Servant of the Cross]

ping.

[A. Morgan]

Sounds good to me, too.

Bump

Well, it looks like we’ll soon see all the Perry haters start in on Newt, now.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

The real question is which two teams (Team 2 is Mittens and Rue. Team 1 is Rick and Newt) will together have more than 1,144 delegates at the end of the primary/caucus season. If it’s Team 1 we have a conservative team. If it’s Team 1 was have two people with ideas almost as destructive of and dangerous to America as Team Obama.

One says we are heartless to illegals, one says we are inhumane. Not sure this ticket would get a lot of support from those who want tougher immigration enforcement.

[BCrago66]

Multiple grammatical & spelling errors. That always irritates me in others, so sorry about that.

[AGreatPer]

Don’t believe it for a second. The other way maybe.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I’m in!

Palin for energy department.

[elpadre]

Switch it to Perry/Gingrich and I would be overjoyed. Otherwise - no dice!

Perry is heads and shoulders the best choice in the original field - a crying shame he is out.

[Proud2BeRight]

This offers little to a conservative win. There are still two candidates splitting the conservative vote and the Massachusetts liberal will continue to pick up primary wins with way less than half the votes.

I’d rather see Allen West debating Biden.

[scrabblehack]

I agree...this might have worked right at the Florida primary time but now it’s nothing.

I think the *only* way to stop Romney is Santorum/Gingrich, or Gingrich/Santorum, with the former being much more likely.

[thecodont]

I can get behind that one.

[Signalman]

Gingrich is the most qualified man in the U.S. to be President. Kerry is the most successful governor in the U.S. This sounds like a winning ticket to me.

[mtrott]

Uhh, I’m not so sure this is a good idea. I love Newt, and I love Perry’s platform of eliminating federal agencies, but I fear that the perception of Perry’s mental acuity has plummeted so low that this would only serve to hurt Newt.

[toddausauras]

Yes indeed. Maybe even more destructive for conservative as Romney is dispiriting for the cause while at least Obama energizes conservatism.

[txhurl]

Should we just go ahead and report abuse on them now?
