My last post and I will let it play itself out. If Gov. Perry doesn't win, I will be glad to keep him as my Governor. I have friends saying that if he doesn't win, they will be moving here. Welcome to Texas, ya'll.

Gingrich, Fannie and Freddie
“Fannie Mae is an excellent example of a former government institution fulfilling its mandate while functioning in the market economy,” Gingrich crowed, not quite accurately, for there was nothing “former” about Fannie Mae’s government status. “Fannie Mae has had a regional presence in Atlanta for over 40 years and the announcement of a partnership office demonstrates its continued commitment to affordable housing in the Atlanta metropolitan area.”
Gingrich was there for Fannie Mae again that April. A press release at the time stated: “House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) today joined representatives from the Fannie Mae, the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership (ANDP) and area lenders and housing officials for the grand opening of the new Cobb Housing, Inc. headquarters.
But Gingrich has some explaining to do about his own role with regard to Fannie and Freddie. At the very least, by enlisting Gingrich as a “consultant,” Freddie managed to get a powerful critic of government mismanagement to provide his critiques privately, out of earshot of the public.
