Newt would be better than Rubio. But Newt may be best used elsewhere. VP is kind of a joke. Look at Biden.
If true that would make Osama Obama & Friends so giddy they'd probably celebrate by firing up another crack pipe.
Let’s face it. ALMOST any ticket would be acceptable to me if it meant defeating Obama.
Much as I would REALLY like to see Gingrich there, I can’t imagine Romney wanting him there.
“I think a Romney/Gingrich ticket makes about as much sense as an Obama/Clinton ticket.”
LOL! True. Kind of. I think life insurance companies would still be willing to cover Willard though.
Romney will not pick a conservative for his VP. He’ll pick another mushy moderate and he’ll argue that he wants a better matched ticket than McCain-Palin was.
Romney is a liberal.
If Gingrich were to accept the VP spot, I would be extremely disappointed in a man I admire and it would make no difference, Romney would still be a liberal.
I will be voting for James A. Garfield. He had the best beard of any candidate, was authentically a genius and a war hero, and, best of all, won’t embarrass us by chasing interns around the Oval Office.
agreed... but on a personal note, i will not sign off (vote) on a candidate who’s goal is the destruction of this country, weather they have a d or an r after their name... the time has come, the time is now... no more friggin socialists ever.....once again, my name will not be associated with any kind of socialist, marxist, big government type or communist regardless of the letter after their name. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils ( if you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil ).....
If Romney gets the nomination and the anti-Mormons refuse to vote or vote 3rd party we will have Obama, his controllers and his posse in the White House indefinitely. Nice.
But if Newt was VP and if Romney had to step down for any reason, things could get interesting.
I could see Myth as a member of Newts administration.
He could be the new Car Tsar. He’s from Michigan, and he looks (and sounds) like a used car salesman.
Yea... That’s the ticket.
I don’t think Gingrich would help the ticket politically (i.e., in winning electoral votes), so I don’t look for that to happen.
No.
I was excoriated from the top on down for speculating on this a few months back. I guess things are changing..
These disasters are not screwups; they are part of a carefully orchestrated plot to dismantle capitalism and our Constitutional Republic.
If I had a medical emergency, was unconscious, and needed my airway to be opened mechanically, I would “accept” EMS forcing a breathing tube down my throat, because it would be better than the alternative, and anyway, I’d have no choice.
Ditto Romney being shoved down my throat. The son of a bitch makes me more than uncomfortable, but I have no choice and he is probably better than the alternative.
That’s about how I feel.
Depressingly similar to 2008, actually.
I’m not voting for any ticket that has Romney top or bottom. Will happily support any combination of Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, Rubio, Ryan, Walker, DeMint, et al, that does not hook up with Romney.
FUMR!! NO MORE RINOS!!

Again, I am dismayed with the winner of the primary elections. Again, I wonder how the winner got to be so. That said, ANYONE in my estimation will be light years better than who we have in office now. The question isn’t if Romney can beat Obama... the fact of the matter is, Romney HAS to beat Obama.
No. Romney is not acceptable. Romney signed an assault weapons ban, inaugurated gay marriage, and Romneycare. These actions belie any words that he would say, or his supporters would say. The excuse that he did these things out of political expediency indicates that he is a man of no principles. Romney is not a clear alternative to Obama, and if nominated that is a clear sign that the GOP is willing to accept socialism as the future of the US. If I vote for Romney that’s what I’m endorsing, and I am not doing it. In May I’m going to polls, and I’m going to vote for Newt, Santorum, or even Ron Paul, but not Romney. In the fall, I’ve got some people downticket I am going to support- conservative Republicans, naturally. But Romney, no.
