With a tweet and a Facebook post, Newt Gingrich declared that he was done exploring the possibility of running for President of the United States.  This of course follows Tim Pawlenty’s series of internet-only announcements.  While these announcements are being made on multiple media platforms, one must wonder if the candidates are skipping traditional media outlets in order to avoid further scrutiny.
