Gingrich: Negative ads have lowered voter turnout
By |CUMMING, Ga. (AP) — Newt Gingrich Saturday blamed negative ads run by Mitt Romney and an allied independent group — not dissatisfaction with the Republican field — for depressing voter enthusiasm and turnout in the Republican presidential contest.
The former House speaker made his remarks at a campaign stop in Georgia, which holds its primary on March 6, Super Tuesday. Gingrich represented the state's 6th congressional district for 20 years and is yoking his hopes for a campaign comeback to winning his former home state.
