I’m waiting anxiously for U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman’s revelation as to where he’s been hiding out the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

The goofy Texas congressman is running for the Senate against incumbent Republican John Cornyn. He made his announcement with a bit of a splash. Then when the ripple disappeared, so did he.<\/p>\n

The tea party favorite really doesn’t — or shouldn’t — have a chance in Hades of winning the Republican primary this coming March. But with Texas politics being as volatile as it is — especially on the GOP side — nothing would totally surprise me.<\/p>\n

Stockman has been MIA for some time. He has canceled campaign appearances amid some questions about whether he has the endorsements he claims.<\/p>\n

Late this past week, he tweeted something about an announcement as to where he’s been. I’m hoping he’ll tell an anxious public where he’s going, such as whether he’s going to keep running for the Senate.<\/p>\n

A part of me wishes he’s been hiking along some mysterious trail, a la former Republican South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who had his staff lie about his whereabouts, only to have it revealed he was cavorting in Argentina with a woman other than his then-wife Jenni.<\/p>\n

But we’ll see come Monday where Steve Stockman’s been hiding.<\/p>\n

Welcome back to the spotlight, congressman.<\/p>\n

I hope.<\/p>\n\n
