Going viral: Romney takes aim at Newt Gingrich


Today's viral comes care of Mitt Romney, who has slung his first TV attack ad of the season at the door of fellow presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich.

Entitled 'Florida Families,' the ad accuses Gingrich of 'cashing in' on the housing crisis by taking $1.7m in fees from mortgage lender Freddie Mac.

It follows a barrage of similar damning ads funded by a Romney-supporting campaign group, which saw Gingrich complain the multimillionaire would 'buy the election if he could'.
