Romney suggested that Santorum was winning the support of the GOPs most conservative voters with incendiary, outrageous and accusatory comments.
Its very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments, Romney told reporters. Weve seen throughout the campaign that if youre willing to say really outrageous things that are accusatory and attacking President Obama that youre going to jump up in the polls. You know, Im not willing to light my hair on fire to try and get support. I am who I am.
A few minutes later, when a reporter brought up Romneys comment about lighting his hair on fire, the well-coiffed candidate interjected: Im not going to do it. I dont care how hard you ask. It would be a big fire, I assure you.
