Desperate

The polls in South Carolina are tightening and Mitt Romney's attacks against Newt Gingrich are getting more desperate and more dishonest. We've seen this play out before. The last time Mitt Romney ran for president, he ran equally dishonest and desperate attacks against John McCain and Mike Huckabee when he fell behind in the polls.

To remind voters of Mitt Romney's history of launching desperate and dishonest attacks against his rivals, Newt 2012 released a new web ad, "Desperate."

The ad features clips of John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson remarking on Mitt Romney's desperate attacks against them as well as his multiple positions on multiple issues.
