The Romney VP thread went well so thought I'd try it again with Newt. Again, similar to the Romney thread, we're assuming Newt wins the nomination here. This time however its a two part question that goes out to both sides
Part one - Personal: Who could Newt Gingrich bring on as a VP that would make you either get fully on board with his nomination (if you already support him) or would make you at least give a further serious consideration of voting for Newt (if you're currently on the fence or against)?
Part two - General: What VP candidates do you think Newt could bring on that would seriously and realistically help his chances to win in the general, and why do you think that? What benefit would the individual have to a ticket and what would their purpose be?
What I'd ask to be avoided, once again, would be people just coming in saying Gingrich shouldn't be or won't be the nominee. This thread is going off the notion that he is, and responding with that idea in mind. And I'd ask that we avoid people coming in going something like "DICK CHENEY!" or "SARAH PALIN!" because they think it would hurt the ticket or because they'd be "worried if they won". This is a serious thread about which candidates would help his standing 1st with yourself and 2nd in general...not which ticket would make you laugh or would be easiest to defeat.
