Romney/Gingrich 2012!

As the circular firing squad that is the current Republican group of candidates moves further down the road, it is  becoming more and more clear that as much as it will take a "hold your nose" approach, the nomination of Willard "Mitt" Romney--however distasteful it might be for those folks who just don't trust members of the Church of Latter Day Saints--is probably the only viable candidate for the Presidency. Unless a "dark horse" emerges from the shadows, Romney seems to be legitimately beating Perry and the "Cain art project" (as Rachel Maddow puts it) and where are the "also-rans" who can be legitimately considered as serious candidates? Of the "five dwarves" (Santorum, Bachman, Hunstman, Paul and Gingrich) on stage at the 10th Republican "debate" from Wednesday, November 9th, only Gingrich has the credentials to not be considered a "nut job", even though he brings along the baggage of a "serial adulterer", famously moving from wife to wife with a new mistress (even, in the case of his first wife, while she was hospitalized).

Gingrich "balances the ticket" and could make voters from southern states hold their nose and vote for a "good, ole boy", perhaps hoping for a well-timed assassination that would elevate their nut-job to the Presidency before "that Mormon guy" has had much of a chance to "socialize" the country.

You read it here first! Stranger bedfellows have combined in Pres/VP partnerships before and unless someone who truly "balances the ticket" better, it sounds like a done deal to me. (Of course, there's always the chance that Romney goes the McCain route and selects a relatively unknown female candidate from obscurity ...--oh, wait! clearly that's INSANE!).
