>> now to presidential politics and the harsh attacks being faced by gop front-runner, mitt romney . are they serving to hurt the republican party as a whole. we'll talk about that with tom brokaw in just a moment. but first, nbc's peter alexander is in greer, south carolina with the latest on the campaign trail. hey, p hey, peter, good morning.
>> we flew down to south carolina with governor romney . on the plane he told us that the big win on tuesday night felt like christmas morning . but in many ways, that was a home game, he's from just next door in boston. this is like going on the road. and he is well aware that the blistering attacks here will make it much less pleasant.
>> how do you feel?
>> great.
>> it may be warm in south carolina , but the political climate is about to get much hotter for front-runner, mitt romney .
>> the next president of the united states , governor mitt romney .
>> reporter: fog back-to-back victories in iowa and namvy, romney now appears increasingly confident. trying to present himself as the inevitable republican nominee. focusing exclusively on president obama .
>> i know we're going through tough times, and we're going through tough times in part because of the failure of one man, and that's why he's got to go.
>> reporter: here in socially-conservative south carolina , where the primary is notorious for nasty politics, romney 's opponents are sharpening their attacks.
>> massachusetts moderate, mitt romney , he can't be trusted.
>> reporter: newt gingrich 's latest td ad targets romney on abortion.
>> what happened after massachusetts moderate mitt romney changed his position from pro abortion to pro life ?
>> reporter: and there's been no let-up in the barrage of criticism over romney 's record as the former head of bain capital .
>> greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
>> reporter: this gordon gekko impersonator greeted romney in south carolina . both gingrich and rick perry kept piling on.
>> crony capitalism, where people pay each other off at the expense of the rest of the country is not free enterprise , and raising questions about that is not wrong.
>> i happen to think that companies like bain capital , could have come in and helped these companies. if they truly were venture capitalists . but they're not. they're vulture capitalists.
>> and there's even a gingrich web ad that hounds romney for a road trip years ago when he put the family pet, seamus on the roof of his car.
>> this is a completely air-tight kennel. mounted on the top of our car. he climbed up there regularly, enjoyed himself. we love the dog.
