The air war in Florida is in full swing. After receiving a $5 million donation from the wife of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, Newt Gingrich’s super PAC promptly spent it all on television ads in Florida—and then some. Winning Our Future, the pro-Gingrich PAC, announced it was spending $6 million to play an anti-Romney ad on Florida’s airwaves. The ad accuses Mitt Romney of being identical to President Obama, playing clips of the former Massachusetts governor praising his heath-care program and calling himself a moderate. Romney’s PAC, Restore Our Future, has already committed to spend at least $7 million on the air in Florida before the Jan. 31 primary.
