Seriously the Romney v Gingrich advertisement war

has reached new lows.
Even Tweety is in shock - the Newt ad about Romney refusing to serve kosher meals to the Holocaust victims in Mass hospitals is breathtakingly below the belt.

But hey let them eat one another - I hope Dems are recording the ads.

(CNN) - Nope, it's not your imagination. The 2012 Republican contest in Florida has been the most negative campaign on record, according to a group tracking political ads in the Sunshine State.

The analysis from Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG) shows a whopping 92% of ads airing in Florida over the past week were negative. The organization said Tuesday that was a record rate for political campaigns.

Numbers from CMAG show a total of 11,586 television spots aired in Florida between January 23 and January 29. Of those spots, 10,633 were negative and 953 were positive.

Of the 1,012 spots Newt Gingrich's campaign ran, 95% were negative. Mitt Romney's campaign ran 3,276 ads and 99% were negative.
