Gingrich said Wednesday that from the beginning he wanted to run a different campaign focused on big ideas "The consultants found this very mystifying, very strange," he said. The trip with his wife, Callista, forced the issue, making clear that he would call the shots, he said. "Either they wanted to be the advisers to my campaign or they needed to leave because I couldn't be the candidate to their campaign," he said. The former House speaker distanced himself from a mailer circulating in Iowa and paid for by a political action committee that supports him. The mailer says Romney is the "second most dangerous man in America." Gingrich had previously pledged to disavow any independent political action committee working on his behalf that went negative. "I would discourage them from sending out that kind of negative information. I think that's wrong," Gingrich said Wednesday. He said all of his ads in advance of next week's leadoff Iowa caucuses will be positive. "You can fight in a positive way. You can be very strong in a positive way," he said.
