2. A look of utter disbelief crossed Newt Gingrich’s face Wednesday when a reporter told him that Mitt Romney had suggested earlier that Mr. Gingrich could not stand the heat of a presidential campaign.
Mr. Gingrich stared at the reporter for several seconds, speechless.
“He’s kidding of course,” Mr. Gingrich finally mustered. Then he paused again.
“Look, I’ll tell you what,” he said. “If he wants to test the heat, I’ll meet him anywhere in Iowa next week, one on one, 90 minutes, no moderator.”
Mr. Gingrich then warmed to the subject.
“I’m happy, I’ll go in the kitchen,” he declared. “Ask Gov. Romney, ask him if he would like to come and play in the kitchen? I don’t think so.”
His testy reply suggested that even though he has vowed to run a positive campaign, Mr. Gingrich is perfectly able to defend himself and perfectly able to withstand whatever is thrown at him — and is prepared to turn up the heat on Mr. Romney and, if he is the Republican nominee, on President Obama.
“I don’t think he wants to do anything except hide over here and pretend it’s not his fault that he’s flooding the people of Iowa with falsehoods,” Mr. Gingrich said of Mr. Romney.
Mr. Gingrich, the battle-hardened former speaker of the House who was deposed in 1998 by his own party, declared himself kitchen-ready as he made what aides said would be his last appearance in New Hampshire until after the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3.
