Coral Springs, Florida (CNN) - The Newt Gingrich campaign has taken off the air a Spanish-language radio spot not long after an influential Florida senator lambasted the presidential candidate for releasing an "inaccurate" and "inflammatory" ad about Mitt Romney's immigration record.
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio sharply criticized Gingrich Wednesday for running the ad, which calls Romney "the most anti-immigration candidate."

Romney rips Gingrich in Nevada ad
(CNN) - Mitt Romney's campaign took its ongoing attack of rival Newt Gingrich to Nevada Wednesday, slamming the former House speaker for his role advising mortgage giant Freddie Mac in the next battleground in the GOP primary.
The 30-second spot, called "Nevada Families," is similar to an ad that began running Monday in Florida. Both Nevada and Florida have been hit particularly hard by the national housing crisis, with foreclosure rates well above the national average.

Boehner recovered his composure after embracing Giffords, who had just handed him her resignation letter. He looked around the chamber, and announced, "the chair would remind all members to be in proper business attire when you come to the floor of the House."
