Oh yeah, and as a follow up to that last point...

While I was typing that, I heard a commercial for tonight's On the Record with Greta, and Newt's the main guest. A possible announcement is being hyped.

Won't happen, of course, at least not on her show. However, if Newt has decided to run, can you think of a better time to announce than right after a debate? Today, for example, he could neutralize whatever bump Rudy is going to get for tearing into Paul, as well as any other real gain any of the other candidates made at the debate. He'd completely crowd out the news-junkie cycle. It sounds more like something Newt would do than Fred, but it could be very effective.

I is looking a little like Newt is going to reneg on his earlier promise to wait until September to make any decision.

Probably Greta ran out of dead blonds to justify those Aruba travel vouchers and is looking for some ratings.

Really, Newt could appear in drag (or in the nude) and I couldn't be less interested at this point. After he went Greenie-weenie and made himself John Kerry's debate-bitch, I don't see the attraction for anyone with a conservative bone in their body. And no one else ever liked Newt anyway. So what would be the point of him running?

Newt and Tommy Thompson (and possibly Gilmore and Huckabee) are all VP candidates, IMO. Remember, VP is no longer a meaningless and forgotten job. In both parties, VP's now do more than wait for their next foreign funeral booking.
