Bret Baier, the moderator of the Fox News debate on Monday night in South Carolina, didn’t waste any time going after former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s attacks against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s career as the CEO of Bain. Baier said that Gingrich said he would run a positive campaign, “Yet you have cited numerous attacks on Governor Romney’s business record. Exact line of attack the Obama Campaign is using. Why?”

Gingrich said all the candidates have records, and that some of the questions about Romney’s came from him and some came from the Wall Street Journal. When Baier pressed Gingrich again, he said “…there was a pattern in some companies, a handful of them, with leaving them with enormous debt and then within a year or two or three having them go broke.”
