Oh, the melodrama! Newt cries about negative ads from his opponents!

[bullwinkle428]

DAVENPORT, Iowa - More than $1 million in negative advertising - much of it bankrolled by Mitt Romney's allies - has eroded Newt Gingrich's standing in Iowa and thrown the Republican presidential race here wide open two weeks before the first votes.

The former House speaker's Iowa slide mirrors his newfound troubles nationally, and it has boosted Romney's confidence while fueling talk that libertarian-leaning Texas Rep. Ron Paul could pull off a win in the leadoff caucus state on Jan. 3.

"The only person who profits from Republican ads attacking other Republicans is Barack Obama and I think it is pretty reprehensible behavior on the part of some of the candidates," Gingrich said Monday as he arrived in Davenport, jabbing his opponents even as he insisted he was running an upbeat campaign.

4. the fact in that Newt didn't anticipate him becoming front runner...

He didn't have what he needed when Herman Cain left the race. He doesn't have a strong organization in any state--particularly in a state like Iowa where to win a caucus you need it and he didn't have the money to compete and take advantage of his gain in the polls. So negative advertising, as usual, works.

5. Newt should sue!

I suggest the cause of action be styled "Definition of character."

6. Will he sign a pledge not to run a negative campaign (against Obama)?

When he faces anybody?

Oh, wait ... it won't really apply because it "won't be him" ... it will be the "living, breathing" corporations exercising their first amendment rights ...
