No Newt
The former speaker of the House makes it official: He's not running for president this time around.
Coming so soon after his $30 million trial balloon, one must speculate that early returns were not overwhelming. It seems odd that he wouldn't have known ahead of time that there was a conflict between running a non-profit like "American Solutions" and opening up a presidential exploratory committee.
Or perhaps he's even more convinced that things are bleak for anything with the "R"-brand next year.
Regardless, it looks like the GOP field is set, like it or not.
