The FAV/UNFAV on Rudy might be a new record I don't know but it is up there, that has staying power because everything about Rudy had been out there for some time, I would personally be surprised if there is anything major we haven't already seen, but the anti Rudies will have no trouble rehashing old news, that's politics!

To me I don't think Newt wants to run, this cycle getting in next Sept I think would be too late to the game, maybe he sees some kind of multi self destructs coming down the road, I just think it is bad strategery.

I don't think Newt is planning on entering the fray. Like you I think Sept 07 is about nine months late at best in entering the race. It takes time to set up state and national organizations, get the fundraising structure in place, and do all the myriad little things necessary to be a contender.

Personally I think Newt is selling books and looking for speaking engagements. Nothing wrong with that as we all have to make a living. He may also be trying to get hooked up with one of the other campaigns in an advisor role.
