Mr. Romney, for his part, showed he is more than willing to go after his latest rival, though his lines of attack seemed at times to be fuzzy. He did, however, get Mr. Gingrich to acknowledge that he got advice on lobbying. “We brought in an expert on lobbying law and trained all of our staff and had experts prepared to testify that he was brought in to say here is the bright line between what you can do as a citizen and what you do as a lobbyist,” Mr. Gingrich said."
