Errant Email to Newt Gingrich Supporters Says 'Obama Is Going to Win'

[Texas Lawyer]

Source: ABC News

The email, titled "What's really at stake this Tuesday ..." came from Gingrich Marketplace and went out to people who'd given their contact information to the Gingrich campaign when the former speaker of the House was still in the presidential race. Bygone candidates, such as Gingrich and Herman Cain, regularly rent out their email address lists to advertisers.

"The truth is, the next election has already been decided. Obama is going to win. It's nearly impossible to beat an incumbent president," advertiser Porter Stansberry wrote in the email to Gingrich supporters.

[Ohio Joe]

1. heh, funny

[SoapBox]

2. Some Pukes and Baggers wet their pants over that one!

And that is hilarious.

[Enrique]

3. oops, sorry Mitt

but look on the bright side, Newt still gets paid for it.

[TheDebbieDee]

5. Don't feel bad for Mitt, either. Bain Capital's Clear Channel is making $

hand over fist selling ad time for Rmoney's hopeless campaign.....it's s neat trick. Money goes into both Obama and Rmoney campaigns, then money goes out to buy ad time at Clear Channel.

$ into Obama and Rmoney campaigns, then into Rmoney's pocket.

[Enrique]

6. yeah Mitt will be ok

guys like him make sure their bread is buttered on both sides.

[OKNancy]

4. the rest of the email is woo-woo

Saying that Obama will try for a third term... circumvent the Constitution

[BlueStreak]

7. These people are truly insane

But it is a good thing that Obama got in their heads.

So Obama is going to just go ahead and take 2 more terms, is he? Yeah, maybe he'll declare a new Prime Minister position and name himself to that, like Putin did. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Or maybe he will use his magical Muslim Kenyan powers to stop the calendar altogether in 2015, making it perpetually 2015 so that he can stay in office forever.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

17. Obama's not a Muslim Kenyan!

He's a Gay Muslim Kenyan Atheist. Geez, get it right.

[Vietnameravet]

8. This post missed the best part.. the email claims Obama

is going to ignore the Constitution and run again in 2016!!!

These fucking people are fuckin nuts!!

[sarcasmo]

9. It's nearly impossible to beat an incumbent president, the new talking point November 7th.

[Ed Suspicious]

11. Ha! George HW beat the odds! What an exceptional idiot he must have

been.

[NewJeffCT]

15. No, he didn't

He was the incumbent vice president when he ran in 1988.

The only recent incumbent to lose has been Ford, and that was an unusual circumstance.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Wrong

George HW Bush served two terms as VP under Reagan (1980-88). He was elected as President in 1988 and lost to Clinton in 1992.
Yes, he was an incumbent who lost.
Carter was another incumbent who lost.

[NewJeffCT]

23. my mistake

I had just read an article on how incumbents don't lose *close* elections when they're up for re-election...

[Courtesy Flush]

22. Are you really not aware that he was president?

[NewJeffCT]

24. my mistake

I had just read an article on how incumbents don't lose re-election if it's a close election, with Ford being the exception. I'll attribute the confusion to my lack of sleep due to the power outage.

[goclark]

25. feel better real soon ...everyone affected is in

my thoughts and prayers.

[Recursion]

10. Part of that is a good analysis -- the institutional advantage of incumbency...

...is nigh-unbeatable in this day and age; same thing I said in 2004.

[eyewall]

12. It's extra hard to beat an incumbent

when you run a couple of embarrassing clowns against him.

[Beartracks]

13. Get out there, everybody, and MAKE THAT HAPPEN! :) n/t

[yellowcanine]

14. Et tu Newte? (I know, Newt didn't actually send it but I could not resist).

[Egnever]

18. I am starting to think this is a last ditch effort to suppress Dem turnout

Too many oops moments going on.

[OldHippieChick]

19. Hard to believe they're all this stupid?

Surely you don't think anyone w/ any sense is voting for Rmoney unless they already have a lot of money. The rest are voting against their own self-interest. I would hardly call them mensa candidates.

[Monk06]

20. I believe you're right. A bit too convenient that Gingrich's email account has been hacked this late

[cbrer]

21. Or Cosmic Karma??

Not that I believe in crystal balls, ouija boards, and palm reading, but it's plainly telling the future.
