""Why is the Globe so intent on attacking Romney?"
Perhaps because Romney is the only Republican candidate from Massachusetts. After all, it is the Boston Globe. Frankly, I don't think the national Democrats are particularly afraid of Mitt Romney."

Then why have they published 11 press releases in the last 6 weeks, where Romney was the headline? More then all the other candidates combined (although, McCain has about that many that mention him somewhere in the press release).

Because if nominated, Mitt could drag Massachusetts into the GOP column.

Because Romney is from Massachusetts and the people who read the Globe tend to be interested when a local is running for President. If papers from around the country were obsessing on Romney, then a conspiracy theory to undermine his candidacy might make some sense.

If Sam Brownback's candidacy looks more promising, I expect to see the Kansas City Star run several pieces about him. Why? Because they want to undermine him? Yes, partially but also because their readership is interested in the local boy making national waves.
