Drudge has been in the tank for Romney since before the primaries. At this point, it’s in Romney’s best interests to keep his VP choice(s) close to the vest. Drudge would never have broken the “Condi under consideration” story unless it was in Romney’s interests (and possibly at Romney’s direction) to misdirect.
Agreed, and I don't like it much; it's overspin for Mittens crew to believe that it was necessary to counter the truly odius giblet crew simply making shit up about how Romney hep-no-tized that NAACP audience to boo him (and on cue!), and thusly flood the zone with some Amish Veepstakes talk.
