When West was asked about the Gingrich statement he said this:
“I have to pray about it and I have to clear it with my wife and two daughters,” he added. “I never thought that seven years ago when I retired here I’d be a United States Congressman.”I would come close to voting for whomever puts West on the ticket for Vice President, because I believe he will hold that person's feet to fire. The other bonus is, I would have the opportunity to vote for West for president in 2020.
How I would love to see West as a VP candidate! Read about West and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) here. Watch West's CPAC 2011 video here. Allen West on The Patriot Act. Watch an incredible speech by West on Empowering Your Spirit. Read about West's amazing military career, and how he did the most he could to protect the men and women serving under him.

West should never even get in the same room as Gingrich. Gingrich lost ALL credibility with the Scozzafaza (sp?) debacle.
Gingrich is a triangulating hack with no apparent values other than political power.
I agree with anonymous. If you want 4 more years of Obama guaranteed, just run Newt Gingrich.
His political views are great. But is personal life makes Bill Clinton look like a saint.
I'll vote 3rd party if the Republicans are stupid enough to run him.
Please, no Newt, too much like a Bush. A Perry/West Ticket sounds great.
west...you bet
newt....not so much
I agree with everyone here, and I believe Newt is trying to ride West's coattails, which is impossible to do. Newt should think about the possibility that West wouldn't be on a ticket with him for anything.
West - sure.
Palin? Any time.
Gingrich - I'd vote for him only if the carcass of Mister Ed was running and then dropped out. And even then I would feel I'd compromised my principles.
