Incarcerated ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) told Newt Gingrich that he and his fellow inmates support Newt for president, according to the Voice Of San Diego.
The publication reports that Cunningham sent Gingrich this electonic message:
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.
In 2005 Cunningham plead guilty in a major federal bribery scandal.
