What surprises me is the amount of complaints from the Gingrich camp and his surrogates as to Romney’s tactics. I find it amazing given the way Gingrich attack Romney about Bain Capital and overseas bank accounts that were legal.
BuzzFeed reports Mitt Romney's goal in Florida is no longer just winning.
After Gingrich Newt scored a surprise blow-out victory in South Carolina last week, the former Massachusetts governor not only unleashed a political broadside of epic proportions.
"It not about winning here anymore," one Romney staffer told BuzzFeed. "It's about destroying Gingrich — and it's working."
After two standout debate performances that put him up 9 points in recent polls, Romney is keeping the pressure on Gingrich, looking to score a blow-out victory of his own here.
To that end, Romney has rolled out a team of surrogates in the Sunshine State to take the fight to Gingrich in person: from Connie Mack (III) and Connie Mack (IV), to Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Sen. John McCain. Romney has also aired a controversial ad featuring Tom Brokaw announcing that Gingrich had been sanctioned by the House.

Romney was always in a stronger position after South Carolina because he has a national organization and money. Newt and Santorum don’t have that.
You can’t win the nomination on debate performances alone.
