Romney a potential running mate, says Gingrich
CNN ^ | 2011-12-07

Newt Gingrich has at least one name on his list of potential running mates: GOP rival Mitt Romney.

"I think Mitt Romney is a very admirable person, and I'm not going to pick a fight with Mitt Romney," Gingrich said in an interview Wednesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

When asked if he would ever ask Romney to be his vice presidential nominee, Gingrich didn't mince words.

"I think the consensus is that he'd certainly be on the list, whether he'd want to or not," Gingrich said. "He's a very competent person. This is a very serious man. I would certainly support him if he became the Republican nominee."

Alas for Newt, Real Republicans don’t want Mitt on your short list for anything except maybe Commissioner of Revenue.

I’m with you there. If Newt does this, he loses my vote. (not sure he even has it yet)

Republicans seem determined to open the door for a strong (fiscal) conservative, reign in the gov’t third party run...

It’s sad to watch.

This is a brilliant political ploy. Newt stays above the fray while keeping the 11th commandment in tact. Newt’s too shrewd to think that Mitt would help the ticket.
