Republican Rudy Giuliani completed a New Hampshire campaign swing the same way he started - by laying into former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

For the past two days, Rudy Giuliani crisscrossed the state and criticized Mitt Romney.

The attacks have ranged from taxes and health care to Romney's ties to a judge who freed a convicted murderer who's since been charged with another killing.

This morning Giuliani said there are other skeletons in Romney's closet.

"I think Mitt runs away from his record as governor. Murder went up, burglary went up, violent crimes went up while he was governor."

Romney says FBI statistics show crime, including assault, rape and larceny actually fell while he was governor.

Yesterday Romney added that Giuliani is in the same position as Democrat Hillary Clinton on topics ranging from abortion and immigration to family values and ethical standards.
