Romney has surrogates shadowing the Gingrich campaign, plans to do the same thing against Obama

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/27/romney-surrogates-shadow-gingrich-campaign/

Delray Beach, Florida (CNN) - Newt Gingrich's campaign spokesman confronted a high-profile Mitt Romney surrogate who was sent to spin reporters at a Gingrich event Friday.

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who acts as a campaign surrogate for Mitt Romney, has become a familiar face at Gingrich's campaign stops this week, along with Florida Rep. Connie Mack. Gingrich Press Secretary R.C. Hammond has not been afraid to engage both congressmen with questions about Romney's record.

Romney's robust presidential campaign will continue to dispatch high-profile surrogates to Gingrich events, Chaffetz said. If they win the nomination, they'll likely target President Barack Obama's campaign stops as well.

"If you think it's aggressive now, wait until he's the nominee and he's going up against Barack Obama. He's going to run a very proactive, aggressive campaign," Chaffetz said.

he would realize that nobody wants him to occupy the WH. Money does not buy all things Mitt, and it is about time you faced reality.
