Maybe someone can shed some light on this?
Have they had a run in, in the past???
This subject has been discussed on FR before.
I think he has been in the tank for Romney from the beginning and he’s just following orders. He has done a poor job of hiding his pro-Romney bias IMO.
Guys like Hume believed Romney was inevitable from the start. Most of the beltway press core feels the same. They may very well be right.
No doubt Hume see's no path to the nomination for Gingrich and is essentially echoing Ann Coulter's line about candidates staying in the race long after they've been beaten in order to keep the spotlight on themselves and score a better TV deal with Fox.
I'm supporting Newt and want him in the race till the end because I find both Mitt and Rick to be awful candidates that I will really have a difficult time supporting. At least with Gingrich in the race I can hope for some miracle and delay the pain of having to accept we are about to nominate a crappy standard bearer...again.
There is some history between them. Has something to do with Brit’s gay son committing suicide. For some reason, he blames Newt for “outting” his son (which Newt didn’t do), who killed himself after he was outted.
Don’t know the details but it all stems from this.
Brit is becomming a bitter old man. Romney is his guy.
