Don't you find it strange that Hagel and Newt just dropped off the radar.

They are so different. Hagel might be embarrassed by something but Newt is beyond that. One day they are sprouting grand ambitions and then silence. To me a scary silence. What does the inside know, including the DEM leadership, that the outside wonders about.

No need to comment, just worried.

1. I think they both said they weren't going to run

in one way or another. Hence they were no longer newsworthy.

2. Newtie just made the news the other day. I forget about what,

but it was as annoying as always

3. Newt was never going to run. He just had a book to sell. n/t

4. Newt enjoys working behind the scenes. This last Dem censure motion

was Gingrich's idea. A day or two before it happened, there was a thread about Gingrich advising GOPers to handle Stark with a censure.

Gingrich has plenty of power, why blow it by running a hopeless campaign?

5. Watch out for Newt's next closed-door "Renewing America" task-force
