In a flurry of campaign advertisements directed at highlighting his opponents bad character, Mitt Romney has created an air blitz over Florida. The target is Newt Gingrich and according to CNN, over the pass several days Mr. Romney advertising attacks have created at least one collateral damage. Former newscaster Tom Brokaw is featured in one ad and the news network NBC has asked the Romney campaign to take Mr. Brokaw out of the campaign advertisement.
In the advertisement Mr. Brokaw is reported to say “Newt Gingrich, who came to power, after all, preaching a higher standard in American politics, a man who brought down another speaker on ethics accusations, tonight he has on his own record the judgment of his peers, Democrat and Republican alike," which is taken from the archived files of NBC network news of an announcement from the 1997 ethics violations probe.
In order to catapult himself back to the top, it appears that Mr. Romney has moved to a higher level of attack on Newt Gingrich since the South Carolina primary. This election cycle for the presidential contenders within the GOP has been up and down for each of them. In all, there have been five winners of the primaries, straw polls and caucuses.
It looks like it will be a no holds bar for these two going forward to the State of Florida primary January 31, 2012.
