Will Newt Gingrich's "humane" musings on immigration blow up in his face in New Hampshire, home of the nation's first presidential primary?

The New York Times reports that an influx of immigrants to Manchester has prompted local leaders to seek a moratorium on refugee resettlement there.

The State Board of Education has issued a statement commending Gov. Rick Scott for prioritizing education in his recommended budget for 2012-2013.

Scott called on the state Legislature last Wednesday to boost primary education funding by $1 billion next year as he looks to make the rest of the 2012-13 budget 4.6 percent more efficient.

The State Board of Education statement:

Don't expect much tea party love for Newt Gingrich's Florida campaign director, Jose Mallea.

While media reports credited Mallea with engineering Marco Rubio's Senate victory in 2010, one tea leader called that revisionist history.

"He did not have a lot to do with Rubio coming from behind. The tea party did all the heavy lifting in the beginning. Then after he had a solid lead we could never talk to Rubio," said the activist who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Mitt Romney criticized Newt Gingrich on Saturday for proposing to eliminate child labor laws and end capital gains for high-income earners.

During a televised GOP presidential debate, Romney also skewered Gingrich's lack of experience in the private sector.

Gingrich riposted: "The only reason you didn't become a career politician is that you lost to Teddy Kennedy in 1984."

Gingrich received applause at the ABC News debate for his proposal to put poor students to work cleaning schools.
