Newt Gingrich isn’t the only one trying to beat Mitt Romney in Florida.
Several liberal groups are funding new ad campaigns in the Sunshine State targeting the vulnerable GOP presidential candidate, part of an unusually bold effort by Democrats to bolster President Barack Obama’s chances in November by influencing the Republican primaries.
The plans include a $1 million ad buy from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the nation’s largest public employees union, which is focusing on Romney’s history as head of the Bain Capital private equity firm. The Service Employees International Union and Priorities USA Action, a pro-Obama “super PAC,” have also jointly launched a Spanish-language radio campaign in Florida accusing Romney of having “two faces” on immigration issues.
