Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich slammed the Romney campaign Tuesday, saying former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney should extend a speaking invitation to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
“Governor Palin motivates and arouses an entire base,” Mr. Gingrich said in an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. “[She] should absolutely have a speaking slot.”
Mr. Gingrich’s comment on the matter comes just days after reports emerged noting that Mr. Romney has yet to invite Ms. Palin to the Republican presidential convention hosted in Tampa, Florida. Mr. Gingrich, who has not been invited to speak at the convention, said that he would be honored to speak at the convention if asked, but the decision is up to Mr. Romney and his team.
Ms. Palin, who responded to reports that the Romney campaign has yet to offer her a speaking invitation, said the circumtances regarding the Romney decision was payback for her outspokenness and criticism of his policy stances.
“What can I say?” Palin told Newsweek when asked about the convention. “I’m sure I’m not the only one accepting consequences for calling out both sides of the aisle for spending too much money, putting us on the road to bankruptcy, and engaging in crony capitalism.”

Republicans will eventually pay if they diss Sarah.
Now is the time for all true Americans to come to the aid of their country. Sarah Palin should “crash” the RNC Convention in Tampa, steal the nomination from Romney and name Newt Gingrich as her V-P. No way could Obama fend off repeated one-two punches from Sarah and Newt.
And tell that no good John McCain to stay home or join the democrats where he belongs.
right on couldn't agree with you more McCain may have been a war hero but he sure is a RINO like his friend Graham.
Romney better not do something stupid like not invite Sarah to speak at the convention.She's a hellcat who energizes the party plus she a favorite of the tea party.If it wasn't for her Senor McCain would have lost by more votes and had John turned her loose he might have won.Romney is letting that tub of sh-t christiethe towelhead muslim lover give the keynote speech.Newt is right.
Newt should be the one instead of Romney.
