I’m going to throw something out. Knowing Drudge, I think there may be a method to his madness. Pulling the band-aid off quickly.
The fact is all this stuff is out there and was going to come out sometime. Florida seems to be a firewall primary for several candidates.
What if Drudge and others are dumping all this stuff early so Newt can deal with it at once and then, when the next primary comes up in five days, this is considered ‘old news’ and already has been addressed.
The alternative would be releasing it one day before the primary where there isn’t a chance to respond...
...or....
Trickling it out (like they did the Cain bimbos) so that every week it is ‘something new’ and the story is always a new issue.
IF I were a campaign adviser and I knew this stuff was out there, I would consider just ripping the band-aid off early, getting it out there, addressing it, and thus, removing the ammo from being used later.
Control the news cycle.

We can PRAY for a well deserved BACKLASH against the media elites, conservative elites and the tools and stooges of the Establishment, (including Santorum) by Tuesday.
We have FIVE days to create a backlash but it has to be done in Florida, not just here on FR. Newt needs us on the phones.
I agree, Drudge may know what he’s doing here. Whether he’s being blackmailed really doesn’t matter. This saturation of his site with Newt attacks is unprecedented and uncharacteristic of his past balance. Consider that the source of all these stories is Washington elite. I think Drudge is pushing it very hard for a reason. The MSM is really losing it’s last shred of credibility and these coordinated attacks are very enlightening. Drudge has to know that Newt attack fatigue has set in and the sheer number of stories he has up will further that. Gay or not, I think Drudge understands what’s really at stake this November. I for one know that the current trainwreck that is Washington will not be averted by a boyscout. Give ‘em hell Newt, you’re the ONLY one doing it!
