NASHUA, NH -- Newt Gingrich plans to open up what could be a bitter new front in his fight with Mitt Romney with an ad accusing Romney of allowing taxpayer dollars to fund abortion in Massachusetts.
The new ad will run in South Carolina "soon," according the Gingrich campaign.
The topic of abortion has emerged as a particularly contentious issue between the Gingrich and Romney campaigns. Gingrich's accusation is that Romney's universal health care plan in Massachusetts explicitly provides for taxpayer funding of abortions. Romney responds by arguing that a longstanding Massachusetts supreme court decision, which as governor he had no power to overturn, forced the state to provide abortion aid to poor women. Romney did not support the policy, his campaign says.
Some Romney supporters have become angry at Gingrich's accusation, especially with two debates coming up this weekend in which much of the GOP field is expected to hit Romney hard. "I don't think Mr. Gingrich has the guts to say it to Gov. Romney's face," former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who has endorsed Romney, said on Fox News Friday morning. "He is wrong. It is dishonest for him to say that
Mr. Gingrich has a little difficulty with the truth."

"Vote Count Error? Did Rick Santorum Really Win the Iowa Caucuses?
DES MOINES, Iowa - Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes
and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page.
He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa
got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadnt.
When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and Ive got a
20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa, True said. Not Mitt Romney.
"Several UNREPORTED news reports have it that Romney
did not win the Iowa Caucuses.
Barring any objective, verifiable proof that shows more than 12 votes mistakenly
being credited to Santorum, Romney lost."
"Could Typo Rewrite Caucus History? (Santorum may regain win)"
ITS UNANIMOUS FOR RINO ROMNEY

I believe there has been a deal made between Newt and Santorum. We are about to witness Newts’ part of it. Santorums’ will come once he secures the nomination or wins the election and starts picking his cabinet.

Diogenesis, did you know the head of Romney's super pac, Forti is an associate of Karl Roves? that Restore Our Future not only receives money from Bain, Marriot but from global sources? and the SCOTUS ruled 5 to 4 they could use unlimited funds. Romney is going to get mega bucks. Now, it looks like Rove kind of groomed Forti. Connecting the dots as to why Fox gives Rove free reign to attack Newt. The sad thing is...Romney didnt win in Iowa...the SUPER PAC won

Thank you very much. I really want to watch both and you giving me this info will allow for this. We will go to mass tomorrow night to ensure We can watch Sunday morning. I can’t wait until the debate tomorrow night. Newt and others need to go for “the jugular” on Romney.
