Just hours after Newt Gingrich admitted his attacks on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital are backfiring, the Super PAC supporting his campaign released its almost 28-minute web video attacking Romney on Bain.
At a book signing in South Carolina, Newt admitted to a Rick Santorum supporter that his attacks on Romney are off base. Politico reports:
“I’m here to implore one thing of you. I think you’ve missed the target on the way you’re addressing Romney’s weaknesses. I want to beg you to redirect and go after his obvious disingenuous about his conservatism and lay off the corporatist versus the free market. I think it’s nuanced,” Dean Glossop, an Army Reservist from Inman, S.C., said.
“I agree with you,” Gingrich said. “It’s an impossible theme to talk about with Obama in the background. Obama just makes it impossible to talk rationally in that area because he is so deeply into class warfare that automatically you get an echo effect. … I agree with you entirely.”

Despite Newt’s admission that his attack on Bain is an echo of Obama’s attack on capitalism, Winning Our Future, the pro-Newt Super PAC bankrolled by casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, released its new video, King of Bain, this afternoon. The group’s website says of Romney’s tenure at Bain: “Some might call that the free market. Most of us think its just plain wrong.”
