Newt Gingrich refers to Mitt Romney as ‘some liberal from Massachusetts’
By Bobby Caina Calvan, Globe Staff
THE VILLAGES, Fla. -- Newt Gingrich attempted to draw a starker ideological divide between himself and Mitt Romney today, as time dwindled for the former House speaker to retake the momentum before Tuesday’s crucial Republican presidential primary in Florida.
“I am, in fact, the legitimate heir to the Republican movement -- not some liberal from Massachusetts,” Gingrich told a sprawling crowd of hundreds at a strip mall parking lot in this enclave of senior communities.
“We need somebody who can draw a sharp distinction” against President Obama, Gingrich said, suggesting the former Bay State governor would have difficulty differentiating his policies from those of the president, especially on health care.
Gingrich will be pulling out some of his big guns tomorrow to help him stump for conservative voters. Michael Reagan, whose father, President Reagan, is lionized among many Republicans, will campaign with Gingrich, as will Herman Cain, the erstwhile candidate for president.
