Gotta love those two asshat as they now square off against each other over the votes of the ignorant in the state of Florida, which is a much more racist state than South Carolina is. Romney truly has his work cut out for him if he wants to win in the state, which I do not see happening because most of the “ Christians “ will not vote for a Mormon, period.
Romney’s tact is to now go after Newt and his lobbying ties.
Mitt Romney attacks Newt Gingrich's private sector lobbying experience

According to Mitt Romney, if you attack his record in the private sector, you're attacking free enterprise and everything that makes America great ... even though he made millions of dollars by putting companies out of business and throwing workers out of jobs. But when it comes to attacking Newt Gingrich's record in the private sector, Mitt Romney says that's fair game:
Mitt Romney will use the backdrop of Florida’s depressed housing market to launch a fresh offensive against rival Newt Gingrich here Monday, highlighting his consulting work for Freddie Mac and calling on him to publicly release his records relating to the mortgage giant.As the dramatically reshaped Republican presidential race centers on Florida this week, Romney will air a television advertisement in the state designed to expose Gingrich as a hypocrite. The ad will contrast the former House speaker’s claims not to be a lobbyist with the $1.6 million to $1.8 million in consulting fees he reportedly was paid for his work with Freddie Mac, according to a Romney campaign official.
At a news conference earlier this morning, Romney said, "Saying that Newt Gingrich is a lobbyist is just a fact." Romney called on Gingrich to release documentation of his work in the private sector because "we just have to understand what this activity has been over the last 15 years."
Fair points, both of them. But as Mitt Romney once said, "What's sauce for the goose is now sauce for the gander." His record in the private sector is every bit a relevant as Newt Gingrich's, if not more so. Remember, Romney's entire rationale for the presidency is that he allegedly created jobs as a businessman—but he won't explain whether or how he did that, and every time he's questioned he starts screaming about capitalism being under attack.
Well, Mitt ought to do what he's asking Newt Gingrich to do and start providing answers instead of attacking the questioner. The fact that he's been unable to do that is a tacit acknowledgment that he can't. And it's one of the many reasons he won't win this election.
