Basically while newt gingrich was taking a page out of obama s playbook and doing this attack on bain capital that s right out of michael moore and the obama playbook and mitt romney couldn t defend capitalism against newt gingrich. people said how is he going to defend capitalism against barack obama? last night, we saw a guy. you could see mitt romney last night taking the fight to barack obama for the first time and that s critical. absolutely. mark, and there were two lines of attack that mr. romney really lit into newt on. one was about his speakership and how four years after he got the job, he was booted out by his own people. and the other was the over million dollars that newt gingrich and company wound up from freddie mac. here s a little if people missed it, it was on another channel last night. here s the exchange. watch. we have congressmen who also say that you came and lobbied them in favor didn t lobby them. you have congressmen who say you came and lobbied ....
