Bay Stater turns his CNBC debate answer on his marriage and commitment to faith into Iowa and New Hampshire TV spot.
Watch the ad above.
SCRIPT: "I think people understand that I’m a man of steadiness and constancy. I don’t think you’re going to find somebody who has more of those attributes than I do. I’ve been married to the same woman for 25 – excuse me, I’ll get in trouble – for 42 years. I’ve been in the same church my entire life. I worked at one company, Bain, for 25 years. And I left that to go off and help save the Olympic Games. If I’m President of the United States, I will be true to my family, to my faith, and to our country, and I will never apologize for the United States of America. I’m Mitt Romney, and I approve this message."
Halperin's Take
Gingrich likely won't take the bait on this, even as the media widely speculates/assumes that Boston made this ad emphasizing the duration of Romney's marriage to implicitly contrast his life with Newt's. There are a lot of ways to chip away at Gingrich's overall lead, and/but this line could at least hurt Newt's already extant gender gap.More ways to get The Page
