Speaking of Romney Relationships: Political Tag-Team Season Kicks Off

Speaking of Romney Relationships: Political Tag-Team Season Kicks Off. Now that things have gotten more or less down to the wire between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, the pair have spontaneously become BFFs with former rivals Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman, each wielding his new buddy as a straw man with which to bludgeon his opponent’s political cred. In that light, those Ron Paul anti-Gingrich ads — not to mention Gingrich’s total non-debate with Jon Huntsman last night — make a little more sense. Mind you, all this is old hat for Romney, who did exactly the same thing in 2008 against McCain. And we know how well that worked. [Salon]
