Do you think the reason Mitt Romney has been so negative against Newt Gingrich is because

Mitt Romney doesn't like Newt Gingrich for ideological reasons. In other words, the part about Romney not really being a Conservative is showing or it's because he really wants to be POTUS very bad.

Most likely it's because Mitt Romney wants to be president very bad, but I could understand people thinking it's because of the other reason.

Newt is not all that popular in the party, he injects himself into the events of the party.

Mittens himself is clueless IMHO. The overlords are afraid of the loose canon The Newt.
