Newt Gingrich Is Looking Out for You

On Sarah Palin:

The Republican presidential candidate told CNN Wednesday evening that if he wins the White House, he’d ask the ex-Alaska governor to take a “major role” in his administration.

On Herman Cain:

Gingrich said he hopes Cain will co-chair a commission to lead the policy discussion on the economy and taxes… “I realize that as a co-chair of a commission like that, there would be a little thing called 9-9-9 that would be brought in and put on the table. So I fully expect that,” Gingrich said.

On Rick Perry:

I’m told reliably that Governor Perry will head up a 10th Amendment project for Speaker Gingrich to rally Governors and state legislators toward a plan of devolving power from Washington.

By waiting so long to make an endorsement, Michele Bachmann might be blowing her shot at running the Gingrich administration’s Gardisil Study Group.
