Gingrich Blasts Romney as Voters Head to Polls in Three States 
---------------------------------------------------------------



Voters in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri will have their chance to
help select the Republican nominee today. Colorado and Minnesota will
have caucuses, and Missouri will hold a primary, though that state will
also hold a caucus in March. This is the first day in the 2012 cycle to
see contests in multiple states. On Monday, Republican presidential
hopeful Newt Gingrich continued his vocal attacks on Republican
frontrunner Mitt Romney.

Newt Gingrich: "Gov. Romney doesn't represent profound change. He
doesn't represent, if you look at what he did in Massachusetts, he
basically accommodated liberal Democrats. And if you look at Romneycare
and compare it to Obamacare, if you look at who he appointed as judges,
they were people who made liberal Democrats happy. And he's not a bad
person per se, but he's also not a person who goes in there with force
and will and fundamentally changes things."
