"Romney would buy the election if he could," Gingrich said. No shit, Sherlock? And YOU wouldn't?

DES MOINES, Iowa – Newt Gingrich said Sunday his GOP rival Mitt Romney would buy the presidency if he could.

Speaking to reporters after attending Mass at the St. Ambrose Cathedral in Des Moines, Gingrich said the amount that the former Massachusetts governor will eventually spend on his various campaigns will rival the spending of billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

"Romney would buy the election if he could," Gingrich said.

A new Des Moines Register poll put Gingrich in fourth place, after leading the field a few weeks ago.
