Newt Gingrich said that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be among the candidates that he would consider when considering a potential running mate.....
Gingrich, speaking Wednesday during a conference call with conservative voters hosted by Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition, was asked by one of the attendees whether he would consider Palin as a running mate.
"She is certainly one of the people you would look at. I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities," Gingrich said, according to Right Wing Watch...........

Ping!
Quit abusing the Breaking News sidebar.
He’s fishing for conservative votes. He’ll never name Palin for anything.
He put her name out among several others, mostly because he was asked about it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “considering” her, although if she said she doesn’t want to run, that means she doesn’t want to run, and it doesn’t matter what a candidate may think.
All of the candidates are “consdering” a lot of people, and I thought it was at least brave of Gingrich to acknowledge that he was considering her, since she’s the kiss of death to the liberal press and even to some GOP candidates (such as Romney).
I thought Gingrich wanted to win.
LOL...the 2 people with the highest negatives on our side...yeah right
I don’t see how Sarah helps Newt in the general election. Put her in charge of environment/energy. Susana Martinez would be a big help if Newt wants a woman V.P.
You may be wrong.
You do realize the last presidential candidate that floated Sarah Palin’s name for Vice President wasn’t exactly a conservative either, right?
Newt is pandering. He’s playing the Tea Party for suckers.
See Post 10.
That’s a great clip. I didn’t know ol’ Newt had it in ‘im.
I always thought that he was pretty sharp. Infuriating at times and naive too. But he has Palin pegged.
