Appearing on Fox News, Mitt Romney drew a new distinction between himself and Newt Gingrich. Romney said that he was willing to tackle President Obama and even his Republican opponents head-on, whereas Newt focused his ire on easy targets.

“It’s very easy to talk down a moderator. The moderator asks a question and then has to sit by and take whatever you send to them. And Speaker Gingrich has been wonderful at attacking the moderators and attacking the media. That’s always a favorite response for the home crowd but it’s very different to have candidates go against candidates, and that’s something I’ll be doing against President Obama if I get the chance to be our nominee.”
