Gingrich campaign tells TV stations: Don't run pro-Romney PAC's 'fine' ads

By Michael Isikoff, NBC News national investigative correspondent

The war between the Gingrich and Romney camps is escalating over the former speaker’s threats to sue TV stations that continue to air attack ads by a Romney super PAC claiming that he was "fined" $300,000 for ethics violations.

<..> But Charles Spies, a lawyer for Restore Our Future, has fired back, saying the group plans to re-air the claim that Gingrich was fined in a new round of ads in Florida in the next few days. He also told NBC News that "no station has pulled the ads" as a result of the Gingrich threat.

<..> The letter from the Gingrich campaign "is a desperate attempt to conceal Gingrich's ethics baggage in the lead up to Florida's presidential primary election," Spies wrote in his own letter to TV station managers this week.

"Although it is understandable that Mr. Gingrich wishes that he wasn't the only Speaker of the House in history to be fined (overwhelmingly by a bipartisan Congress) $300,000 for ethics violations, that is nonetheless his baggage to live with."

Food fight. Newt dishes it out, can't take it.

Alas, the only seeming adult in the room, Huntsman, is pretty much out of money.

This could be good for us, or really, really bad.
