Romney Critiques Newt’s Style, Declares ‘No Whining in Politics’

Mitt Romney critiqued GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich’s off the cuff style today as an unlikely way to win the White House, suggesting that unfiltered remarks may make the former speaker a weaker candidate.

“I know that among some folks just saying outrageous and incendiary things will get you kudos and drive your number up, but it’s not going to win you the White House and it’s not going to win us the respect of people on the other side of the aisle that we have to bring together to overcome the extraordinary challenges we have,” said Romney, addressing the media after taking a tour and speaking to employees of the Madison Lumber Mill in northern New Hampshire.
