COLUMBIA, SC — Mitt Romney’s victory speech in New Hampshire had barely ended before Fox News here was filled with South Carolina-specific TV spots.
In keeping with the negative campaign that’s expected here, two of the three ads were negative attacks on Romney. The first was an ad by a super PAC supporting Ron Paul that went after Romney. Another slot was taken up with Newt Gingrich’s hard-hitting new abortion ad. Romney had an ad of his own playing, too. Rather than focus on his GOP rivals, though, Romney’s ad went after President Obama with a South Carolina-specific message about the NLRB.
