October 04, 2007Romney Attacks Giuliani in New Hampshire
The Politico's Jonathan Martin & Mike Allen suggest this question and answer was clearly set-up.
Taking questions from a crowd full of mostly college students at St. Anselm College's New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Romney was helpfully asked by one man to explain his differences on economic issues with Giuliani -- who polls indicate has drawn even with the former Massachusetts governor in this state.Appearing prepared for the question; Romney noted Giuliani's opposition, as mayor of New York, to the line-item veto and recalled his own many vetoes on Beacon Hill.
"I line-item-vetoed hundreds of items as governor of Massachusetts -- hundreds -- and that vehicle is the most powerful tool a president of the United States could have to rein in unnecessary pork barrel, earmarked spending," Romney said.
