I also think that Sarah Palin will accept. Newt is 69 years old and may well decide to be a one-termer if he knows that Sarah is there to carry the flame of conservatism. Even if Newt is a two-term president, Palin will still be plenty young enough to run in 2020 and serve two terms on her own.
We would see a much different Sarah Palin than the one we saw in 2008. She will be battle-hardened and seasoned. With Newt, she will be able to run the kind of campaign she wanted to run four years ago but wasn't able to - because she was held back by the McCain people.
Could happen. But first, we need to get Newt nominated.
I have said this here as well as to my conservative friends to not rule it out. She brings the energy of the Tea Party with her to fill his volunteer centers, and she is vetted.
Newt has been around enough to know you need fill your team with a potential replacement, it is done in board rooms all the time.
I think Newt might do it as a form of poetic justice to the apparatchik's that tried to destroy him, if so I would laugh with him in glee as their heads explode as he does it...
