Newt has way too much baggage to be on any ticket.
If he had played his cards right, kept his zipper up, he might still be Speaker right now.
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
Newt was on his way to winning the last nomination prior to the Rinos stepping in because they owed Romney a favor when he ran against McCain. It was Romneys turn per the RNC, even though many voters preferred Newt.
