Romney acknowledged the turn to the negative, telling NBC’s “Today” show that his campaign was forced to respond to a negative salvo by Gingrich that helped the former House speaker win last week’s South Carolina primary.
“We were being whaled on by Speaker Gingrich and didn’t respond well in South Carolina,” Romney said. “So we decided to respond. We made it clear if people want change in Washington you have to bring in someone from outside Washington. Both the change in tactic as well as the message have had a real impact in Florida.”
Later Monday, Romney told a crowd in Dunedin, Florida, that Gingrich’s attacks revealed a degree of desperation.
“He has been flailing around a bit trying to go after me for one thing or the other,” Romney said. “You just watch it and shake your head. It has been kind of painfully revealing to watch.”
