"These two were so collegial that I couldn’t help thinking they’d look great on a ticket together."

The Cain-Gingrich Debate - A substantial debate produces few disagreements, but plenty of contrast. - John Hayward/Human Events

Cain is an inspirational figure, but Gingrich’s experience and mastery of the issues would be important assets in the general election, because in the teeth of an aggressively hostile media, a command of fine detail is necessary to keep an inspirational message from becoming derailed. Where Gingrich was cordial and supportive, Obama will pounce, and the next day’s headlines will be filled with all the things Herman Cain didn’t know by heart. Cain would really profit from the continuing support of Gingrich… or vice versa. They really are quite a team.
