DU, help create "Newt Gingrich: The File." Send in links to stories concerning controversies

[skip fox]

&c.

I'll categorize the file (Newt's Problem with Freddy Mac, Newt's Marriages and Infidelities, etc.) and keep updated on this board after I get enough:

I have only one story to date. Let's make this a community effort, DU. Please send in files

Here's an initial example of what I'm thinking for a set-up:



NEWT GINGRICH: THE FILE

DU could use a file of information containing the best stories on Republican front-runner New Gingrich in order that DUer’s might initiate their own investigations deeper into the allegations or implications so that DU can have a source to get links when making their points about the former Speaker in discussion or debate

Please send links to relevant (an accessible, non-pay) stories as a replay to this post. I will include hot links to further stories, add relevant extra categories, etc. in order to maintain an up-to-date file for our purposes.

I’ll be up-dating the file twice a week until it has good coverage, once a week thereafter.

When the campaign centers on the issues, we have the edge.

When the campaign is a bullshit reality show, they have the edge.
