Notorious GOP hatchet man warns Romney to back off Newt. [View all]

[RandySF]

David Bossie, a longtime friend of Newt Gingrich who’s worked closely with him in recent years as president of Citizens United, says that Mitt Romney needs to consider whether his attacks on Gingrich could cost the GOP in the general election.

“Mitt Romney’s nasty, negative. derisive campaign threw everything they had at Newt Gingrich this week and it didn’t work,” Bossie told TPM. “They need to consider whether they’re harming the eventual nominee as they’re making these attacks.”

Bossie said that Rick Santorum may have to consider soon, perhaps after Florida, whether he might be better served dropping out to allow Gingrich a shot at consolidating the anti-Romney vote.
