In an interview with Piers Morgan Wednesday night on CNN, Newt Gingrich offered a disquieting glimpse of just how nasty the campaign will get between he and Mitt Romney in the days leading up to next week’s South Carolina Primary:

“This is going to be Armageddon – they are going to come in here with everything they’ve got, every surrogate, every ad, every negative attack. At the same time we’ll be drawing a sharp contrast between a Georgia Reagan conservative and a Massachusetts moderate who’s pro-gun control, pro-choice, pro-tax increase, pro-liberal judge, and the voters of South Carolina will have to look and decide.”
