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.

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.

If a Nielssen family gouges out their eyes en masse, does that count for negative ratings points?

Seriously, though, I'm not very interested in voting for Newt, either, but he is polling rather well, and without Fred in the race, he might think he has a chance. He might even be right.

It'd be a shame, I think, since it'd take the air out of Hunter's campaign, which finally seems to be getting a little mainstream recognition and who I, personally, am starting to warm up to.
