Last year, a delegation of RNC officials flew to Miami Beach, where Drudge lives, for a dinner at the Forge steakhouse to introduce the Internet maven to Matt Rhodes, the party’s new opposition research director.

A year ago, Rhodes signed on to Romney’s campaign. Since then, Drudge-watchers have noted Drudge’s consistent refusal to hype–and in many cases to even mention–negative stories about Romney.

I seem to remember that Brit Hume (of ABC and late of FOX News) held Newt responsible for outing Hume's son. Hume's wife was/is the news director of FOX News

That might give Drudge a motive as well

Thanks for the Ping!

"Since then, Drudge-watchers have noted Drudge’s consistent refusal to hype–and in many cases to even mention–negative stories about Romney."

I am shocked. Dude doesn't seem to mind putting up plenty of ugly stuff about Newt, though. Didn't the ABC interview of Newt's second wife rate the "siren treatment"? Right before the a State primary election?

Is it possible that the RNC has Drudge’s dress or is acting as Drudge’s sexcort service?
