Good article. Imho, it’s obvious what is happening on Drudge.

It's been a "war on Newt" at drudge for a week now.

When I last looked, and I've since blocked the site so I don't return accidentally, he had 12 anti-Newt stories and 2 positive Romney stories.

After about 15 yrs of reading/listening/watching I too gave him the benefit of the doubt but he's clearly gone over the wall. The last I knew Matt lived in FL; given the site headlines he must be frantic to stop Newt. Rather than openly endorse Mitt (or Paul) he's being underhanded.

Did he go to PENN STATE...?

No, but Santorum did, both for his BA and his Law Degree. He went to PITT for his MBA, though.

I think Sarah was trying to stay in the good graces of the “establishment”, hence her support for McCain in the Arizona Senate race....but now, they’ve made clear that they don’t care what she thinks and I suspect that may be why she and Todd have been supportive of Newt over Mittens.

She also said that the GOP would be foolish to diss Ron Paul supporters so I think it may be an opening salvo in a huge battle for the heart of the GOP. If Mittens get the nomination, I could see Sarah Palin teaming up with Newt Gingrinch and Ron Paul to destroy the establishment - it would give Obama a second term but if Romney is the nominee, Bambi wins anyway.

Maybe the time has come!

You’re quite the political analyst. What a crude post.

That BIG headline about Pelosi knowing something? It turns out that was a rerun from December when Pelosi was hinting that there were secrets buried in the ethics committee. Her staff issued a statement yesterday, that she doesn’t know anything.

That’s what really made it clear to me that Drudge is in the tank for Romney. Drudge knew about the Britt Hume/Gingrich story ( I’m convinced that story is just that, a story too.) , and posted the old Pelosi headline as if it was new and pertained to the Britt Hume/Gingrich accusations.

Maybe you would say that to Newt in person along with his wife, kids, and grandkids.

But you probably won’t.

Sounds like an opportunity for a true conservative Drudge replacement as his traffic will suffer.

Breitbart.com maybe?

I don’t know what the problem is with reporting the truth. Newt is an egotistical, arrogant, morally corrupt, big fat liar. So if Drudge and Ann Coulter et. al., want to report that, what is the big deal?

I have no problem with anti-Newt articles. What I have a problem with his Drudge not posting anti-Romney articles.

No Romney. No Drudge either.

This is a full-court press by the establishment to end the race in FL.

"And you don’t think Willard will strongly disappoint once elected?"

No, most already know Willard will be lacking in being a force in the right directions. Folks already have low expectations of Willard and thus will not be disappointed as his (lack of ) actions are already discounted.

Leroy is less Conservative and principled than W.

Drudge recently hired two Romney operatives to help him cover the 2012 campaign.


Joe Curl


Charles Hurt

:: And you don’t think Willard will strongly disappoint once elected? ::

Not if one’s only reason to support him is to have Pubbie control of the US treasury again.
