Progressive and Nativist Mitt Romney has launched ads smearing Gingrich. the result is Newt has lost support in Iowa.
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — If Iowa voters are thinking about New Gingrich these days, there’s a good chance that one word in particular is coming to mind.
“Newt’s got a lot of baggage,” said Betty Peterson, an 85-year-old retiree in Clear Lake. If Gingrich were the Republican nominee, Peterson said, the Democrats would not “let it go.”
That word, “baggage,” came up frequently in conversations with Iowa voters over the past few days. In a few dozen interviews with Iowa voters, several repeated the line or some form of it.
Maybe that’s because it’s the refrain of an attack ad being run by a super PAC supporting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Restore Our Future.
If I were Newt, I would hit back Romney with ads attacking his actions at Bain Capital. Newt better fight back and soon.
