Mitt Romney's campaign and its slashing Super PAC are locking their sights on Rick Santorum for a campaign that may make previous attacks on Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich look like mere love taps.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, a Romney advisor offered details of the campaign's coming two-front attack, which the campaign expects will be echoed by the Super PAC, which cannot legally coordinate its message, but which has already bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of airtime in key states.
. . .
Romney, who allowed Restore our Future to do his negative work in Iowa, has long since given up any apparent worry that voters will react badly to negativity, and complains of unfair attacks don't seem likely to deter him here.

will also slime Romney alienating more Republicans from him and further hardening the view of him as a man who will Say Anything, Do Anything to win in the eyes of Democrats and Independents.
I'm looking forward to it.
The sh#$ storm begins tomorrow - and, yes, we all know Ricky is going to whine and complain the entire time.

He suggested at one point that most political contests would be better settled in Madison Square Garden by fighting it out with socks full of horse dung.
I think he was right, and I wouldn't sit too close to the stage.
