KEENE, N.H., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Mitt Romney, campaigning in New Hampshire Wednesday, rejected rival New Gingrich's complaint about "negativity" in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.
Gingrich complained Tuesday about campaign attack ads run by the Restore Our Future Super PAC supporting Romney that targeted the former U.S. House speaker from Georgia.
"I know that the speaker would like to say that we shouldn't have any negativity," Romney told NBC. "But, look, if you can't handle the heat in this little kitchen, the heat that's going to come from Obama's Hell's kitchen is going to be a heck of a lot hotter. We have to show that we, as a Republican Party, and as a candidate that we can stand up to the barrage that's going to come from the Obama world."
Gingrich said he doesn't object to being out-spent but "I object to lies. I object to negative smear campaigns and I object to things the candidate himself refuses to support."
