The Romney campaign often enlists old House colleagues of Newt Gingrich to tell reporters that the former speaker is unqualified to be president. In recent weeks, Team Romney has hosted conference calls featuring Jim Talent, Peter King, Susan Molinari, and others to criticize Gingrich’s record and personality.

In Nevada, the Romney campaign held one such call featuring former Rep. Barbara Vucanovich, a Republican who served with Gingrich in the House from 1983 to 1987.  “I did serve with the Speaker and he really used to be erratic and I think he probably still is,” Vucanovich said in a January 31 conference call.  “One of my feelings with him is he was always so full of himself. I mean, humility was not in his makeup. And he was cocky and arrogant and of course didn’t listen to anybody.”
