“Gee, ya think so? He’s sinking in the polls and, lo and behold, he suddenly decides Sarah would be perfect for his VP or SOS”
I think some people in this post lack reading comprehension skills. Newt was merely responding to a question asked of him in an honest manor. I like how he handled the question.
It sounded reasonable to me. I don’t think Palin wants to run for anything, but I don’t see any reason Gingrich should have said he wouldn’t consider her (which would have been the other response he could have given).
Why is he being criticized for making an honest statement? He’d consider her and probably several other people, and they, for their part, would also have to consider whether they wanted to run with him. That sounds reasonable to me.
You got that one wrong. What Newt should have said is that he can't answer the question because if he answers yes freepers like Krankor will criticize him for transparently pandering to Palin supporters and if he answers no freepers like Krankor will criticize him for insulting Palin supporters.
