Newt: I’d consider Sarah Palin for VP or Energy Secretary

Right Wing Watch has the audio, but here’s the transcript of the tele-town hall where Newt is asked if he would consider Sarah Palin as VP, and says he will as well as other cabinet positions like Energy Secretary:

Caller: If you’re fortunate enough to be nominated, would you consider having Sarah Palin as your running mate?

Gingrich: She is certainly one of the people you would look at. I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities. There are also some very important Cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well. I can’t imagine anybody who would do a better job of driving us to an energy solution than Gov. Palin, for example. Tell her that she would certainly be on the list of one of the people we would consider

Personally I’d love to see Sarah Palin as Energy Secretary after seeing what she did in Alaska. Energy is such a big deal and I think it’d be awesome if she were the one who, after many promises of becoming energy independent, made America energy independent.
