RC>In case it's escaped your notice, Newt has been extremely
RC>quiet and has also lost 20-30 lbs. Given his silence and
RC>the recently otherwise target-rich environment, there has
RC>been a near-cessation of Newt-bashing. Not unexpectedly,
RC>his rating in the polls has seen a consequent steady rise.
Unwarranted, IMO.  When he comes up with idiocy like statehood for
Puerto Rico, he's lost it.
RC>We may be looking at a Newt-OwlGore matchup in 2000 even if
Betcha his track record this last session of Congress would blow Newt
out of the primaries early on if somebody like Forbes made it an issue.
RC>Gore escapes judicial action. Given the OwlGore camp's
RC>inflated opinion of Gore's debate skills after the
RC>Gore-Kemp debate, a Newt-OwlGore debate should be quite
RC>entertaining. 
Not having seen Newt debate, I ain't so sure about that, even bad as
Owlgore is.
