10. It makes me wonder, in absence of the VP slot, what Newt is angling for.

There was a story today about his "calling out" the Bushes for not attending, saying the Republican party has been very good to them.

The VP slot is an impressive title, but the power that comes with it can range between Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney. And Hillary Clinton's recent remarks have been somewhere along the lines that her primary concern is that the person chosen is 100% ready to assume the role of President, if called to do so. So a veep can be involved and active and shape the Presidency, or not. My guess all along is that if Trump were to win, he'd do nothing more than delegate.

But Gingrich wants something, I'm just not sure what that might be.
