Always important to double check just who and what you are sending out. Think of it as a Sober Second Send.
An email message mistakenly sent to Newt Gingrich's list serve this morning told subscribers that President Obama would no doubt win in 2012 and that they should be more worried about Obama's winning in 2016.
Talk about fear mongering!
"The truth is, the next election has already been decided. Obama is going to win. It's nearly impossible to beat an incumbent president," advertiser Porter Stansberry wrote in the email to Gingrich supporters. "What's actually at stake right now is whether or not he will have a third-term."
Are people really that gullible? That they think Obama can even RUN a third time?
What makes this even worse is that it is an advertisement of sorts that is being allowed by Gingrich's people. There is even a disclaimer included stating that the views are those of their advertisers alone. But given that it's coming from his people, how many would know they aren't hearing from the man himself rather than a third party?
Here's the catch to the email. To learn how Obama would circumvent the 22nd Amendment, Gingrich subscribers were asked to click on a link to Stanberry's site and watch a video presentation.
