Romney Tones Down Attack As Florida Votes

January 29, 2008 12:48 PM

ABC News' Matt Stuart reports: Former Massachuttes Governor Mitt Romney watered down his on-going attacks toward Senator John McCain by not directly attacking, but simply implying just as Florida Republicans head to the polls.

Speaking to supporters in Tampa, FL, Romney criticized the Arizona Senator on the economy, saying "One of the candidates out there running for President said that the economy is not his strong suit.  Well, it’s my strong suit."

The Romney-McCain battle has heated up this week as both men campaigned hard this week in Florida. Romney has frequently played up his business background on the stump, using it as a base for why he would be best suited to fix the economy.

"I think it's helpful to have a President of the United States who actually has been in the real economy if he's gonna try and fix the real economy," Romney said.

Romney also deviated from his standard stump and made a few comments about his democratic opponents, Former Senator John Edwards. Where Romney usually criticizes Edwards claim that there are "Two America's," Romney said today, "I listen to John Edwards, who I don't think we'll have to listen to too much longer."

With hours left for Floridians to vote, Romney ended with his final plea, "Hey you guys, get out there and vote a few times. Will ya? Get the job done today? Make some calls. Get some friends out there.  Let's make this a big win."
