Gingrich/Who?

I'm still convinced that Romney's going to win the GOP nomination, and that he's going to choose Virginia governor Bob O'Donnell as hsi running mate.

But suppose Gingrich really does win. Given that the establishment is lining up for Romney, who does he have left to pick from in his veep pool? I doubt he'd try to balance teh ticket with a northern moderate. I like the guess, in another thread, that Jan Brewer would make the short list. Who else?

I don't believe Gingrich will win the nomination but if he does (there is a significant chance he will), I can't see too many Republicans who want a future in national politics going down with that ship.

Hard to see any GOP heavyweights signing on with him.
