2:31 p.m. | Updated Mitt Romney is sharpening his warning to Republicans about the consequences of nominating Newt Gingrich, declaring in an interview on Wednesday: “Zany is not what we need in a president.”

“Zany is great in a campaign. It’s great on talk radio. It’s great in print, it makes for fun reading,” Mr. Romney told The New York Times. “But in terms of a president, we need a leader, and a leader needs to be someone who can bring Americans together.”

With 20 days before the voting begins at the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Romney is intensifying his forceful attack on the credibility of Mr. Gingrich, who has emerged as his leading rival in the Republican nominating fight. He has shed his year-long reluctance against doing interviews, hoping to change the narrative surrounding his candidacy before the holidays.

Jake Tapper is having a field day on Twitter making fun of Mittens. It's a riot.

So what happened to this talk of not going negative any longer?

Guess that went out the airlock with the rest of Willard’s promises.

Romney is being told by the Insiders to try to get under Newts skin so voters see his other side. Let’s see if Newt Bites.

[AppyPappy]

He REALLY doesn’t want to go there.

Right, instead we should nominate a stuttering progressive, eh, Mitt??

[Salamander]

The current polls must have him really shook up.

Go to #zany on Twitter. It’s funny: (for example):

marcslove Marc Love
You know what else is #zany, @MittRomney? Strapping your dog to your car’s roof and driving cross-country.

[VanDeKoik]

And how many of the so-called “real conservatives” want to raise their hand and agree with Mitt?

Good for Jake. This is hilarious. The Romulan is truly in the panic stage. Using LRon Paul in Iowa?!

Romney Warns of Nominating ‘Zany’ Gingrich ...

LOL. Yoda senses great fear in the "unrepentant abortionist/statist lying political whore" I do.

[Beagle8U]

Would ‘magic underwear’ be classified as Zany?

[Don Corleone]

Looks like “Mittens” is going over the edge. Not good!

[MortMan]

Romney is the only R candidate to which I have “NO WAY, NO HOW”.

For me, even buying a used car from Mitt Romney would be a cause of doubts.

What's even more disturbing is Newt Gingrich in his own words describing himself as Realpolitik Wilsonian after a LEFTist progressive Woodrow Wilson. Newt is definitely not a conservative and with his own words, states so himself.

#zany saving a car company and forcing them to sell exploding golf carts.

LMAO!

[BigEdLB]

I'm up here because Mitt didn't want to share his potato chips.

The ineligible Mitt 'Hussein' Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that FOX News will pick this up for me
and Wallace will claim I won, no matter the poll or debate."

“If your opponent is quick to anger, seek to irritate him.” -Sun Tzu.

I don't think Newt will take the bait. Certainly he won't bother to defend against being called "zany" by Mitt Romney.

[noprogs]

The really funny think watching these two statists from the bankster wing of the GOP go at each other is that what each says about the other is TRUE!

You couldn’t make this crap up if you tried!
