I imagine rumors of several possible candidates will be floated about until the convention.
A good litmus test to see a reaction, but Gingrich is a good choice IMO, lets see how the public and talking heads react.
I imagine NRO, Kristol, Krauthammer, Gutfeld, Perina and George Will (the usual suspects) will be throwing Newt under the bus over the next couple of days while they apply Preparation H to their butthurt that Mittens is not tops on the list.
I’d like to see Allen West on that short list as well.
A second from this direction. Allen West a super choice for VP and Newt as Chief of Staff. Just can’t see Newt in that particular chair....not enough room there for his bride.
