Via Newt Gingrich e-mail to supporters:
If Democrats had won this Deep South seat they would have been shouting from the rooftops. Instead they spent a lot of money with nothing to show for it.
Now they and the Republicans have to turn to Massachusetts.
The Republican candidate is Gabriel Gomez, a former Navy SEAL, venture capitalist and upset winner of the primary who has suddenly emerged as a serious contender.
Long term Congressman Ed Markey who was presumed the automatic winner in the general election has suddenly found himself in a 44-40 race with Gomez according to a public poll last week.
Markey clearly is rattled and his first attack is guaranteed to backfire. He has an ad which shows Gomez’ picture and Bin Laden’s.
Why a liberal anti-war Democrat would want to attack a Navy SEAL with that kind of over the top ad is beyond comprehension.
This promises to be a very interesting race.
