(Breitbart) Democratic lawmaker sarcastically welcomed struggling Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to Florida Sunday ahead of a critical primary, in a sign the White House is focused on taking him down more than rival Newt Gingrich.
Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz welcomed all four Republican candidates to her home state of Florida, which is next in line in the nominating contest, one day after Gingrich thumped longtime frontrunner Romney to win the South Carolina primary.
But she trained her taunts squarely at Romney -- just as her DNC committee has done for months -- belittling the former Massachusetts governor for squandering his lead in South Carolina and saying his campaign's economic themes were "cratering."
While the party's core conservatives view him with suspicion, he has the support of establishment Republicans, and the White House clearly sees Romney as their greatest threat to Obama winning a second term.
