STATEMENT BY MCCAIN SENIOR ADVISOR MARK SALTER ON MITT ROMNEY'S ATTACKS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY

John McCain 2008 Senior Advisor Mark Salter today (12/23/07) issued the following statement:

"Welcome to Mitt Romney's bizarro world, in which everyone is guilty of his sins. He didn't support Ronald Reagan. He didn't support President Bush's tax cuts. He raised taxes in Massachusetts by $700 million. He knows John McCain is gaining on him so he does what any small varmint gun totin,' civil rights marching, NRA endorsed fantasy candidate would do: he questions someone else's credibility. New Hampshire is on to you, Mitt. Give it a rest. It's Christmas."
