Appearing on MSNBC Tuesday night, former New Hampshire Governor and ex-White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, a major Mitt Romney supporter, struck back at the attacks from other Republican candidates over Romney’s comments about being able to fire people (which were a reference to an individual being able to switch insurance companies, not to Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital).

“No, actually I think the socialist attacks you’re getting out of Mitt Romney — getting against Romney, by those opponents, are gonna actually come back and hurt them,” said Sununu.

“I think you’re seeing that already in responses for Romney, by National Review, by the Club for Growth, and so on. They’re pointing out that if Gingrich and others have that perspective, then what are they doing in a Republican primary?”
