Where'd Newt go?

It just dawned on me that I haven't seen Newt mentioned on the news, haven't heard a sickening Newt soundbite, haven't even read about him in several days. Did he drop out and nobody told me?

(Not that I miss him.)

about Robert De Niro's joke about whether America was ready or not for a white woman in the White House. Pity poor Newter...trying desperately to remain even on the periphery of relevance.

With his inflated ego he's got to be absolutely going crazy right now.

and that he doesn't really affect the race. He just shows up when he wants to hit Mitt some more.

Santorum still wants him out (PPP's national poll apparently showing Newt's being in or out of the is apparently determining the national leader now) he's refusing yadda yadda yadda.

O and he's crying about De Niro and probably upset that his wife is the least liked Presidential candidate spouse.
