Jailed ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.) recently wrote a letter of support to Newt Gingrich,according to the Voice of San Diego:
Newt, a voice out of the past. Down but not out and still fighting. First I do not want anything from you but have been watching the debates. I have 80% of inmates that would vote for you. They might not be able to but their extended families will.
However, the disgraced former congressman -- who wrote out a "bribe menu" for government contractors on a congressional note card -- realizes that an endorsement is out of the question. "I do not expect a reply Newt and my endorsement would do more harm than good," he wrote.
