We’re back to Mr. Nice Newt, apparently. After his drubbings in Florida, Minnesota, Maine and Colorado, Newt Gingrich is pivoting away from attacking Mitt Romney and back to the postive stuff.

Politico’s Ginger Gibson reports:

“I think my ideas are much bolder than Santorum or Romney’s,” Gingrich said when asked why he didn’t mention either during his speech. “I think my ideas are much clearer and more specific and I have to focus on communicating those ideas. The two periods I focused on communicating those ideas I ended up No. 1 in Gallup both times. And we’re going back to doing what we did that worked.”

 

“When we went back and analyzed it I do dramatically better when I focus on the nation’s problems and I focus on the nation’s solutions,” he said. “I don’t do nearly as well when I focus on my competitors. So we took the lesson that has worked twice in the last 3 months.”
