“There is an enormous difference between somebody who has spent their entire career as a Reagan conservative and somebody who has spent their entire career as a Massachusetts moderate,” Gingrich said at Belknap Mills Wednesday afternoon. “I think in terms of beating Obama, having a clearly defined conservative is vastly more likely to win than having somebody who’s confused.”
Both Romney and Ron Paul hammered the Speaker in negative advertisements in the state throughout the month of December, causing Gingrich to fall in polls.
“In this campaign so far, I’ve been dead once, resurrected, limping along, the front runner, drowning in a tidal wave of Romney and Ron Paul negative ads, recovered and survived,” he said. “So I don’t worry about much of anything.”
Gingrich took aim at Romney’s real estate today, as well.
When asked by a man in the crowd if the former speaker would purchase a home here in the Lakes Region, Gingrich responded with a jab at Romney. “No, I can’t afford things like that, I’m not rich,” he said. And even Callista, his wife, chimed in, with a dig at the Romneys, who own three homes. “We have one home,” Callista said.
In Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses Tuesday night Romney squeaked out a win -- with just 8 votes.
