| Description | "With his candidacy battered by negative campaign ads and a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses, Newt Gingrich is adjusting his strategy to rescue his ailing campaign, aggressively swatting back at Mitt Romney, whose supporters have painted him into the box of a Washington influence-peddler.
Tired, frustrated and irritated, by his own account, Mr. Gingrich heartily agreed when a television interviewer asked him Tuesday if he was calling Mr. Romney a liar in claiming to be a conservative.
Speaking to supporters after finishing fourth in Iowa voting, Mr. Gingrich called Mr. Romney “a Massachusetts moderate who in fact would be good at managing the decay but has given no indication of his ability to change the culture.”
The increasingly caustic comments against Mr. Romney — Mr. Gingrich promised to go after him “every day” in another interview — risk reanimating images of the thin-skinned, angry politician of the 1990s that Mr. Gingrich was seeking to bury with recent vows to stay positive." |
