Gingrich says his Freddie Mac ads are coming soon

Newt Gingrich told ABC News yesterday that he was close to airing an ad responding to attack ads that have been hammering him on his relationship with Freddie Mac. “We have a great story” Gingrich told Jonathan Karl about Freddie Mac, “and will probably run an ad by the time we get to New Hampshire or South Carolina.”

If you are a Gingrich supporter hoping Newt will finally respond to the Freddie Mac ads that have crippled his campaign, don’t get your hopes up. Gingrich told CNN a similar story last week. “[W]e may actually do an ad on this. I’ve been thinking about it for the last two days because this is clearly the one thing that is so direct and so immediate that it needs to be answered,” Gingrich told Shawna Shepard.
