1. Gosh, there's a place I'm tempted to go with this one... but I won't...

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Yes, it's kind of like an invitation to hidden posts!

[LisaL]

2. There is a dream team for ya.

[agent46]

4. It's a synchronicity

...that a "Dancing with the Stars" ad shows up on this OP. Why are we even talking about this shit seriously anymore?

[MADem]

5. I thought Newt was floating a Newt On Top ticket--with him as Prez, and Santorum as Veep.

Even with his shitty showing tonight!

I think they can play all the games they might like filling out their dance cards, President Obama is going to win a second term and I intend to help!

[LisaL]

6. His name was first in the tweet.

So I think he is floating himself first.

[MADem]

10. It was a bit odd, because the first bit had Santorum first, and then

later, Newt was first...but since Santorum was the big winner tonight, he's in the catbird seat.

...idea of a Santorum-Gingrich ticket...


The way Newt was babbling, he sounded like he would make a place for Santorum as his "little buddy"--like Gilligan to his Skipper, or something...!

13. LOL!

Great comparison.

7. "President Obama is going to win a second term and I intend to help!"

Me too!

[MADem]

16. I like your name! nt

[freshwest]

8. Oooh, noes! You sooo went there! LOL!

[MADem]

9. Jeez, I really didn't mean it like that--I meant that Newt is a pompous blowhard who always

likes to be the Big Cheese!

Good grief, is everything sexual these days?

[freshwest]

11. From those two guys? Yeah, unfortunately it is. Don't mean to offend you, though.

[MADem]

14. No, no, no--I am not offended! Just, apparently, a bit clueless at times!

There are times when I can "double entendre" with the best of 'em, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, roger dodger, nyuck, nyuck, and all that!

There are other times when stuff just whooshes right over my head!

This was one of those times! Too focused on the political aspects, I guess!

[Politicalboi]

12. They could go all out

Tomacco!

[Speck Tater]

15. There are two kinds of turds. Thos that float and those that sink.

With that ticket the Repubs would be getting one of each.

[davidpdx]

17. It would be like Saddam and Osama bin Laden running together

Santorum-Gingrich

The American Taliban Party!

[Odin2005]

18. Newt has too much ego to be #2.

[Arkana]

19. Oh god it would be Goldwater/Clone of Goldwater

vs. LBJ all over again.

They'd get slaughtered. Newt violates the first rule of VPs--do no harm, much like Sarah Palin did, and Rick Santorum stands no chance against Obama in a debate. He can't speak intelligently on foreign policy and his views on social issues are on the level of the First Crusade.
