(CNN) - Mitt Romney's campaign released a blistering new Florida television ad against Newt Gingrich on Monday, eight days before the Sunshine State's presidential primary.
"If Newt wins, this guy would be very happy," the ad's narrator says, as a photo of a smiling President Barack Obama appears on screen.
The 30-second commercial, "Florida Families," is set to air statewide in Florida.
In a part of the country that saw large amounts of home foreclosures, the ad particularly strikes Gingrich over his time as a consultant at mortgage giant Freddie Mac.
"While Florida families lost everything in the housing crisis, Newt Gingrich cashed in," the narrator says.

I think from Romneys standpoint the negative adds against “Leroy” in Iowa worked. So now Mitt thinks going really negative against “Leroy” will work in Florida.
Now in Iowa Newt tried to run a positive campaign and got steamrolled. This now Florida and Newt will be fighting back with his own adds against Mitt. New day, new state, new strategy by Newt. I am not sure how the very personal attack adds by Mitt will work. Mitt is not spouting Conservatism he is spouting negativism.
I do think the vetting is good and will make the candidates stronger when they go up against Hussein. GO LEROY GO!
CNN right now is doing an expose of Gingrich’s “money” Adelen something. Every channel is touting Romneys anger.. and pushing it on Newt and all the while praying that Romney can pull this out.
“I just sent Newt some money for Florida. HAVE YOU?”
Yes, last night.
Newt was a consultant. That is like saying the guy who cleaned the toilets there “cashed” in.
What did he cash in on? He wasn’t part of the board, didn’t write any mortgages, didn’t make any decisions, he wasn’t even there when it went under!
And where are all of the “you are attacking capitalism people” drama queens? Let’s see you go ape on Romney over this.
Yes, this morning! It not surprising that Mittens would come out with a "biting" ad, given that Mittens BITES (the big one)!
YOU BETCHA I SENT NEWT MONEY!
ROMNEY IS A SLIMEBAG.
If true, I no longer watch much Fox, then Fox is digging it own hole. Before this is ended I think that Fox will be no more creditable than CNN.
—I don’t think Romney can beat Obama.—
That’s the irony in his ads. :)
This won’t help Romney one bit. It will more than likely lose Romney support. Newt has gone up over 20 points in the last week, even with several months and millions spent by Romney against Newt, in an aggressive ad campaign to promote Romney in Florida.
Instead, Romney has tanked and Newt is surging. This will just make the voters dislike Romney all the more, as a dirty, hit below the belt jerk. The SC response tells it all, that the voters are getting sick of the hate ads and the sickening, personal attacks.
Rush noted today that Mr Electability is 9 for 25 in his political career.
Can’t wait:
“My name is Newton LEROY Gingrich and I’m comin after you, Barock Hussein Obama.”
He wins the South/Nascar/and all rednecks inbetween.

As I have stated, many times, he’s damned good business man, a good family man, and frankly, a pretty good manager.
But what he isn’t is fiery, and I fear he will get steamrolled by an attacking enemy media, in the same way that McCain was. He’s “Too Nice” of a guy to get down and dirty with Obama, and his handlers too afraid of being called racists, to do what is going to need to be done, namely calling Obama out on his failures.
You are already seeing it with Clyburns “mentioning Food Stamps is RACIST!” B.S.
I have NONE of those fears with Newt. As we are seeing, the enemedia is being FORCED to report what he is saying.
I’m not looking for a Saint for president.
The whole Messiah-as-President thingy isn’t working out to well for us, right now. I’m looking for a FIGHTER, that can force change on to D.C., and get the message out above the din of a hate-filled media.
Because make no mistake. If the Messiah loses, you are going to see an absolute orgy of media hate, with things like reporting homelessness, and joblessness, and soldier deaths suddenly fashionable again.
I made my first political donation in a few years to Newt yesterday. more to come after he wins Florida.
When does Mittens come out in black-face to accuse Newt of racism?
LOL
It had a chance but nice try.
I didn’t feel a thing but laughter. That’s honest laughter for what? I don’t know.
The ad seems desperate and petty. Maybe childish.
I think the part that got me LOL was the ending where they show Gingrich and Obama and then right after that:
“I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this ad” I started laughing right there and fully outloud when I saw him running through a field with his wife and their wind swept hair.
Can’t explain why it was funny but hell...Play it some more.
Just donated and will again every payday.
