Romney "Goes on Attack"?

This NY Sun story reports that Mitt Romney went "on the attack" against Mike Huckabee last night.

To the extent it was a strategy, it worked. First, my sense is that Mitt Romney has a little bit of a "goody two shoes" problem with some voters. His willingness to get in there and mix it up, live and on camera, demonstrated to potential voters that he can be a fighter -- and that's lucky, because whoever the nominee is, he's going to need to be willing and able to climb in the ring against some hefty odds.

Second, as I noted last night, Mike Huckabee's response didn't work. He seemed evasive and then peevish. And that's not going to work in the heat and glare of a presidential election, as Republicans know.
