If Newt is nominated I’ll vote for him, but Fannie/Freddie is an issue that can be exploited quite well by Alinsky tactics, and some people will abandon him on this issue alone that is all I am saying.

Freddie/fannie are just not natural populist bogeymen. It would take quite a bit of subtlety to attack Gingrich over $1M from Fred/Fan without simultaneously condemning the tens of millions that democrat career types (e.g. Jamie Gorelick) ripped off from them.

Oh yeh, that old excuse - Everyone else was doing it works real well with voters who are already fed up with the dishonesty and graft of all politicians.

In fact, his Fannie/Freddie ties are really a great positive in Newt's favor. Everyone should vote for Newt cause he is really a conformist, and his actions prove that.

Yep that's a winning argument: he's just like all the other inside the beltway types-especially the dems - why he can match the dems - sheesh. Do I need the sarcasm tag?

I hope he wins the nomination, I love the way he takes the media and everyone else to school. I am just saying he is NOT perfect, and this is one of his vulnerabilities. But if you want to deny it and pretend he's perfect and this issue is really a positive and will not cost him one single vote go ahead and put your head in the sand.
