Video: Rivals attack Romney as NH voting begins

>> new hampshire with the presidential primary there. savannah guthrie is in manchester. good morning, savannah.

>> reporter: good morning, matt. mitt romney has a double digit advantage in the polls here. the other candidates fear an early sweep of iowa and then new hampshire would make him unstoppable. so the attacks are intensifying and striking at romney 's business experience. romney touts his experience as a ceo. now his rivals are trying to portray him as the kind of guy that would fire you.

>> thank you. bye-bye.

>> what do you say, did you get her?

>> she said she's with me.

>> reporter: in a mad dash of 11th hour campaigning that turned into chaos in one case.

>> there is a lot of congestion.

>> reporter: republican candidates monday piled on the frontrunner, mitt romney , who provided a huge opening, discussing poor service he perceived in the past from insurance companies .

>> uh i like being able to fire people who provide services to me. you know, if someone doesn't give me the good service i need i want to get somebody else to provide that service to me.

>> reporter: romney 's opponents were quick to pounce.

>> governor romney enjoys firing people. i enjoy creating jobs.

>> reporter: rick perry 's website had a custom ringtone.

>> i like being able to fire people .

>> reporter: born into a wealthy family romney raised eyebrows for saying he worried in his life about losing his job.

>> there were a couple of times i wondered whether i was going to get a pink slip .

>> reporter: perry delivered a blistering retort, ripping romney 's tenure at the head of bane capital.

>> i have no doubt he worried about pink slips -- whether he would have enough to hand out because of all the jobs they killed. i'm sure he was worried he'd run out of pink slips .

>> everything go to the people.

>> reporter: and a super pac supporting newt gingrich plans to air a 30-minute film on mitt romney 's experience.

>> a story of greed, playing for a quick buck. a group of corporate raiders led by mitt romney , more ruthless than wall street .

>> reporter: are you feeling momentum now?

>> i'm feeling energy on the ground.

>> reporter: john huntsman who bet it all on a strong showing here was eager to go on the attack.

>> if you like to fire people combine it with pink slips --

>> reporter: do you think he's out of touch or a flawed messenger?

>> i think the combination of some of those messages would strike a lot of americans as being not in contact. and would not encourage a lot of voters, i don't think.

>> reporter: not every candidate took the bait.

>> do you think that's a legitimate line of attack.

>> i'm not taking shots at him for that. capitalism is constructive as well as destructive. i think he's got a lot more about his record as governor to talk about than his record at bane capital.

>> reporter: romney tried to brush off the criticism.

>> i understand in politics people will take it out of context, make it something it's not. i have to be an adult and recognize it goes with the territory.

>> reporter: this morning the democratic national committee is using romney 's statement without context in a web ad . with romney so far ahead in the polls it may be a race for second place. on the other hand new hampshire is known for surprises. four years ago remember then senator obama was pulling far ahead of hillary clinton . she came back and won the primary, ann.
