Newt attempting to mitigate the damage done on his behalf by his superpac, which of course he cannot control or have direct contact with.

Will it help Newt? Or will Romney refuse, following the rule of not interfering when your enemy is self-destructing?

Romney will maintain he has no control and the ads are correct. Even anti-Newt pro Romney Fox news showed all of the old false ad yesterday when they had the Romney guy Mr. Talent on with Martha McCallum talking. (America’s Newsroom) That is the same old false ad that Gingrich sent a legal notice to media not to run or they would face legal consequences.

Go Newt. There are still idiots that believe that both Newt and Romney endorse or have any control over the PAC. You will still find idiots that do not understand the PACs.

So all of the freepers defending Newt’s stance on Bain Capital, are you willing to admit that Newt went too far? Seems like Newt is.

I like Newt 1000 times more than Mittens and would vote for him in a heartbeat over Willard. However, none of those reasons have to do with Bain Capital and free markets. I guess it doesn’t really matter who I’d vote for because this contest will be long decided by the time I get a chance to vote in Pennsylvania.

There are “inaccuracies” in the ads? What are they? The article does not elaborate or even explain them. Nor does Newt.

Newt’s superpac should pull the current adds on Bain Capital and put up adds about Romneycare. Show the film clip of Obama claiming that he modelled Obamacare on Romneycare. Play that over and over again in South Carolina and see how conservatives like that.

what the hell are you smoking Bob?

those ads have creamed Romney in SC with Newt now in the margin of error

they did their damage and now Newt can play “innocent”

it's war...Romney drew first blood in Iowa and toppled Newt from a nice perch and now he's getting it back

and will have to answer for maybe/maybe not shady biz claims

he says he created 100,000 new jobs...he did not

and so forth

now Newt and his Supers need to pour on the regional heat and pound Mitts social issue liberalism

this is where Mitt is weakest and believe me...it plays in Dixie

Southerners unlike New Hampshire care quite a bit about abortion, queer marriage and whatnot

these next debates will be killer and SC will be watching

thank you Sheldon Adelson...you gave Newt a chance basically all by yourself...big hug..I knew there was a reason I stayed at the Venetian last June

The candidates cannot have direct contact with these Super-PACs.

Romney grins and smiles and says “I can’t do anything about it”

Gingrich just called him out on it. If Gingrich can call on his Super-PAC to correct the problems with the Bain ads, then Romney can clearly call on his Super-PAC to correct the problems with the anti-Newt ads.

Your questions are moot since Newt is not self destructing. Take a look at what is going on in the south bigbob.

What Newt is doing is not illegal. The FEC has stated that a candidate can publicly ask that a PAC not run certain adds. They stated to Romney when Gingrich called on Romney in Iowa to correct the PAC.As long as it is public and not a situation of direct contact it is permissible.

After the MSM found and reported a number of gross ‘errors’ in King of Bain accusing Romney of doing things at Bains at times he wasn’t even working there.
