I'm getting a feeling that Newt Gingrinch is setting himself up to be the vice-presidential candidate, am I wrong?

In the early GOP debates, watching Gingrich deflect questions that may lead him to criticize other GOP candidates, even accusing a debate host of trying to provoke confrontation between them Republicans, well, I got the feeling that he is that loyal to his party and understands there is only one enemy out there, Obama.

Now that he is giving Romney what seemed to be a run for his money, I just had this funny feeling that maybe, Gingrich knows he won’t get the nomination but at least he could make himself out to be a formidable and attractive vice-presidential candidate.
