Reason On Your Radio

I'm going to appear on the Mark Carbonero show at 10:10 eastern, talking about Newt Gingrich (whose exciting possible presidential bid seems to be forgotten in Fredmania!).

That's sort of an interesting question. Has the Bay City Rollers-style mania over the man from Tennessee bled away interest in a Newt run, or has it demonstrated that people are fickle and excited about whoever enters the race next? Does that work for third parties, too - like if in May 2008 the LP nominates someone with starpower (like Wayne Allyn Root or Doug Stanhope)? UPDATE: By "starpower" I mean "more media savvy than Michael Badnarik." Hard to imagine, I know.
