Palin/Gingrich is off the table, because the Alaskan Airhead is off the table. Romney/Gingrich I can see. Gingrich/Anyone won't happen. Obama gets reelected regardless, doubly so if the Tea Party is stupid enough to run a 3rd party candidate and split the right-wing vote. Chris, I don't see where the "mystery" is. Gingrich is just a capitalist tool, in a long line of capitalist tools. He's a liar just like 99.999 % of all politicians, but thanks for the heads up.
