Will The Zombie Candidate Cash In?

Chait contemplates Gingrich's next move:

Gingrich is in the unusual position of running a campaign that helps the front-runner. … He has something of immense value to offer Romney right now, something that is highly perishable. So if you’re Gingrich, don’t you approach somebody close to Romney and discuss a trade? A post in his administration, some help from his donor network, maybe some customers for you lobbying historical business?

PM Carpenter counters. David Corn notes that that zombies are bad negotiators:

Romney doesn't have much leverage over them. Zombies are hard to reason with. They're already dead. They're tough to bribe. They want to kill you. … Gingrich has, undoubtedly, already calculated how much his lecture fees will rise with each week he stays in the race.
