I don’t agree.. Newt needs to clear this up. I know a family who is very interested in the Fannie mess...and Romney absolutely won that round. Newt needs to clear that up..NOW.
Yep!
Newt is falling into the trap of anger. He is too substantial to be doing that. Stop it.
Newt put the fannie mae contract online! Romney is losing by his incessant attacks. No doubt the smartest man on that stage is NEWT
It’s just turned into a spitting match.
Nothing can be cleared up in this setting. Newt should clear it up in his own way.
This whole beech fest is turning people off. I’m thinking of turning it off.
Romney’s horrible but he’s making Newt look ineffective.
I think Newt should move away from this now.
If anyone is truly interested, then they should do what Newt said. Go read about it on his site. No way NBC is going to allow him the time to answer, fully.
Romney protests too much...

Governors Target Nation’s Housing Crunch
New NGA Issue Brief Highlights Governors’ Efforts to Increase Housing Affordability and Availability
November 09, 2004
Governors are increasingly linking innovative housing strategies with broader economic and development policies to make housing more available and affordable for all, according to a new NGA issue brief .
Given that one in every seven Americans today spends at least half of their income on housing, governors are increasingly linking innovative housing strategies with broader economic and development policies to make housing more available and affordable for all, according to a National Governors Association (NGA) Center for Best Practices issue brief released here today at the 2004 Annual Housing Conference.
The brief, which was funded by the Fannie Mae Foundation, will help frame much of the discussion during today’s conference, “States of Change: Innovative Policy and Investments for Stronger Communities,” sponsored jointly by the NGA Center and the Fannie Mae Foundation. Progressive leaders in state housing policy, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell will be featured speakers during the daylong symposium at the National Building Museum.
In his speech at the conference, Mitt Romney said: “By leveraging public and private sector investment, we can increase our housing supply and support economic growth. “–Mitt Romney at 2004 NGA/Fannie Mae Foundation Housing Conference.
Key words: Progressive and leverage.
