I wonder who Gingrich's running mate would be. Palin, Bachmann, Ryan, Jindal, Huckabee, Romney. Maybe an old-schooler, Armey, Frist, DeLay. There are so many combination's for a 400 electoral vote Democratic landslide.
Of course, other than Bachmann you've failed to identify a conservative for either name on the ticket within your short list.
I think Newt would have a very good chance if he could make it out of the primaries. He will be killed in the primaries by the right-wing. He can't compete in a primary that is controlled by the "base".
I predict a Sarah Pailan/Michele Bachmann ticket in 2016(maybe 2012). They will kill it in the primaries and get annihilated in the general.
Looks like Newtie-boy is GOING FOR IT in 2012. He recently drank the kool-aid. Not a little, either. He drank the whole damned 55-gallon drum of it. Yep, Newtie came out and spoketh high and mighty words in praise of Gawd Almighty. Hallelujah! Pass the collection plate, fuel the campaign with Good Old Praise (GOP)! Yeah verily, Newtie-boy has got religion and he's taking it to the mountain tops to proclaim it to the skies.
- When Gingrich came to power ... his Contract With America was a document of fiscal conservatism that mentioned God only in passing. ... When he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton ... Gingrich was involved in his own longtime extramarital relationship with a former aide, who is now his third wife. ... never been particularly close to the religious right. ... a promoter of traditional values ... sought a divorce from his first wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery.
- But as his presidential aspirations swelled in recent years, Gingrich took the road to Damascus. He went on James Dobson's radio show to talk about his adultery. He spoke at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. He appeared on GodTV. He converted to Catholicism. He wrote a book, "Rediscovering God in America," and produced two related films. He's at work on a documentary about Pope John Paul II's role in defeating communism.
There we have it. Newt wants the blessings of the extreme religious right (RR), which is about all that remains of the GOP. He'll try the usual Rovian tricks of trying to appeal to others on fiscal conservative grounds, or abortion, or guns, or gays, and for sure he'll wave the flag of patriotism and shout "support the troops" with all his might; but not even the RR buys his mealy mouthed transformation. They've heard it all before. The RR got used by the idiot Bush for 8 years. There are other GOP'ers out there with more credibility in the RR than Newt, and Newt's neo-fascist efforts to wrap himself in the flag and carry a cross may get him the votes of a few old Floyd R Turbo types.
The RR and the rest of the nation also has seen through the vaporous promises of the pious-sounding GOP candidates.
Isn't it sad that the religious right has thrice-married philanderers like Gingrich and Guilliani for "inspiration."
conservatives throw the rino card at individuals who often think outside the tiny box their in.
There is a political party for RINOs called Democrat. Our tiny box, Anti: Big Labor, Nationalization, Expanded Gov't, Regulation, Taxes, Dilution of State Rights, Weak Foreign Policy, Deficit Spending. Our tiny box is not a bad place.

The RINO label extends to those who like nation building and foreign aid to "my enemy's enemy".
Umm...not paying them? But shhhhhh....to RINOs everywhere, it's not really socialism. It's an investment. Same bs line as the Democrats use when describing UHC and bailouts.
