In Florida, Romney Takes Aim At Resurgent Gingrich
By Philip Rucker and Amy Gardner January 22
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. Mitt Romney unleashed his harshest personal attack of the campaign on Newt Gingrich here Sunday, saying it was proven that he was a failed leader as the former governor pivoted sharply to regain his footing in the wake of Gingrichs stunning resurgence over the weekend.
As the dramatically altered presidential campaign moved to Florida, Republican leaders braced for a long and potentially bitter nominating contest. After upending the campaign in South Carolina with a commanding victory, Gingrich moved quickly to capitalize on it. He launched an aggressive fundraising blitz aides said his money bomb raised $1 million in eight hours and hired new staff to help him compete with Romney as the contest moves to a much more expensive front.
Romney, meanwhile, tried to recast the race as a choice between two kinds of leaders. Were not choosing a talk show host, Romney told an evening rally of more than 500 in Ormond Beach. Were choosing the person who should be the leader of the free world.
Speaker Gingrich has also been a leader, Romney said. Then he brought up the ethics investigation into the former House speaker. At the end of four years, it was proven that he was a failed leader, and he had to resign in disgrace. I dont know whether you knew that. He actually resigned after four years in disgrace.
Romney also sought correct his handling of his taxes, saying he would release his most recent returns on Tuesday and acknowledging his previous reluctance to do so was a mistake.
