OOPS. Endorsements Can Be Awkward. Duke Tells Newt He'd Have The Felon Vote Locked Down

Here’s an endorsement Newt Gingrich probably doesn’t need: former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA), currently serving a 100 month sentence in federal prison after being convicted of bribery in one of the largest congressional corruption cases in recent memory.

Cunningham, the inspiration for the TPM Golden Dukes and a TPM pen pal, acknowledged in a letter to Newt he forwarded to the Voice of San Diego, that his endorsement “would do more harm than good.”
