Yeah, my flimsy basis for this suspician is: (1) Gingrich was toying with running; (2) Gingrich was vocally jealous of a draft-Thompson campaign (and clearly thought he should be the subject of the draft);(3) Gingrich was using Dobson as a sort-of father-confessor figure at the time; and (4) I don’t like Gingrich, as he is an ego-maniac.

I just susepct Gingrich was using Dobson to make the path clear for himself, but that may be more of a product of my personal dislike/distrust of Newt than anything.

I think your points 1 & 2 are probable-bordering-on-what actually-happened.

And points 3 & 4 are likely and fit the facts.

Thanks.
