Gingrich: 'I feel Romney-boated' [View all]

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa --

Asked Sunday whether he felt that he had been "swiftboated," Gingrich replied, "I feel Romney-boated."

Speaking to reporters after attending morning Mass at the St. Ambrose Cathedral in Des Moines, Gingrich said the amount Romney will eventually spend on his various campaigns will rival the spending of billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has poured at least $261 million of his own money into his mayoral campaigns.

"Romney would buy the election if he could," Gingrich said.

Even as he attacked Romney, Gingrich insisted he would not go negative -- which he defined as distortions and lies -- but would work to correct misleading charges against himself and draw a clearer contrast with Romney. (heh)
