I think Newt Gingrich is going to flame out before the caucuses
next year and it certainly looks like the Rs are going to light the fuse.

1. H20 Man recently altered my view of Gingrich.

Gingrich really wants to be Vice-President, in the mold of Cheney.
The evil puppetmaster behind the scenes.
I assumed he was in it for the money, but I think H20 Man is onto something...

3. Not a chance
I can't see an ego like Newt's willingly shooting for second fiddle. And I sure can't see anyone picking a know-it-all like Newt as his VP. Cheney's number one qualification as VP was that he was a known organization man, a team player, and a guy who didn't rock the boat. Gingrich has never shown a single one of those characteristics.

4. "mold of Cheney"
An interesting way to phrase it. I thought Cheney was looking a little moldy.

6. I hope DU3 has a "like" button...
...like on Facebook.
Maybe I should play around over there and find out.

5. I agree with you and H2O Man.
All sorts of stuff falls into place with that idea, as I said on the other Patrick's thread.

2. If his baggage is combustible, he surely will.
