Ron would have to compromise himself to much. What is he going to do in the debates vs Biden? Blast him for Tarp...when Newt supports it? Blast Obama's warmongering...when Newt is worse? Ron would be a cheerleader for Newt with no practical power compromised character
I'd sooner have Romney as VP than somebody like Newt if we're actually going for appeasing some of our enemies (which I still think would be a questionable idea). These nutcases may appear scary, but I have a feeling they'd vote for Paul anyway since their hatred for Obama is so intense. Newt Gingrich belongs in a jail cell, not in elected office.
