Who is Romney’s campaign manager and what is his connection with Drudge?
Also, Drudge is very close friends with Ann Coulter. If Drudge continues to go after Conservatives like Newt, Conservatives will seek alternative websites.
*****************
Mitt Romney leads the Drudge primary....."Frustrated rivals think they know the secret: a low-profile, hard-driving Republican operative named Matt Rhoades, who is Romneys campaign manager. Rhoades met Drudge, as POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris and co-author Mark Halperin reported in their book The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008, when he became research director of the Republican National Committee and was introduced by his predecessor on a special trip to Miami. Rhoades has since been seen as a pipeline to the reclusive Drudge, who now has two veteran Washington reporters working on the site as well."....
Its no secret that Matt Drudge has a high-level friend inside the Romney camp, but his favoritism puts him noticeably out of step with other conservative media, said an aide to one of Romneys Republican rivals. Sometimes its bias by exclusion, like when conservatives universally slam Romney for his RomneyCare speech and Drudge gives him a pass."........[and there is more] Source
