The slugfest between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich comes to a head Tuesday in Florida, where Gingrich is running behind because of a deluge of negative campaign ads by Romney and his allies and the perception that Romney bested him in the last two debates.

It’s tough to keep up with the various charges the two men have thrown at each other — Gingrich even brought up an ancient Romney veto concerning kosher food on Monday — so here is a guide to their most recent and most frequent claims.

This has gotten ugly in a hurry. It's a slugfest.

How does one veto kosher food? :laugh:

Haha...I think what happened is that Mitt took away medicare reimbursements for kosher meals in the hospitals, something like that. Newt is trying to paint Mitt as an anti-Semite. :shocked:

Oh, Holocaust survivors no less!

In a new robo-call in Florida, the former House speaker is charging that the former Massachusetts governor and Sunshine State frontrunner once “vetoed a bill paying for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes -- Holocaust survivors, who for the first time, were forced to eat non-kosher, because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher.”

They couldn't find a way to call them "malnourished, starving holocaust survivors"?

Newt needs to fire his campaign manager, clearly this was a fuck up.
