Gingrich Sees Palin As VP Or Cabinet Secretary

The Hill:

Newt Gingrich said that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be among the candidates that he would consider when considering a potential running mate, adding that the former GOP vice presidential nominee would be an ideal candidate for secretary of Energy.

Gingrich, speaking Wednesday during a conference call with conservative voters hosted by Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, was asked by one of the attendees whether he would consider Palin as a running mate.

“She is certainly one of the people you would look at. I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities,” Gingrich said, according to Right Wing Watch.

He went on to suggest that Palin might be ideal for a position in his Cabinet.

“There are also some very important Cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well,” Gingrich said. “I can’t imagine anybody who would do a better job of driving us to an energy solution than Gov. Palin, for example. Tell her that she would certainly be on the list of one of the people we would consider.”

Palin had toyed for months with running for the presidency before ultimately announcing late this summer to stay out of the GOP race.

    If she were the Energy Secretary she would be a puppet. She is very ignorant of the basic science and how the markets work.

      I have made a decision that this will be my last response to your inane remarks.  Your remarks rarely contribute to the conversation and are primarily to get attention.  I think the expression is “get a life.”

    ec, has posted over 1000 x on an I Hate Palin site that closed in October after Palin declined to run.   She would be the first person to post negative comments here. Please ban her!  She is an eyesore to read and I clearly understand why she is here as a troll, but do we have to endure her constant Liberal drivel?

    Let’s see Newt’s name dropping record.  First, he says he would include John Bolton who is actually on Perry’s Campaign, and now Palin?  Yea right #pandering again,  Newt is a glowarmer.
