In Wed. morning interview on "America's Newsroom," Bay Stater says the Speaker "is way off" on his time at Bain and Gingrich "doesn't understand the economy if he doesn't understand that sometimes businesses succeed and sometimes fail."

Romney: "It is after all the distinguishing feature in my background that, unlike Speaker Gingrich, who spent his life in Washington, I spent my life creating jobs."

Halperin's Take

There are a lot of ideas out there (and in Boston...) about how Romney can best stop Gingrich's momentum. Maybe the best way to do it, on several levels, is to win the who-is-better-on-the-economy argument. It plays to voters' top interest, it sets up the general election argument Romney would like to make,and it (mostly) avoids the kind of personal stuff that will set Newt off.
