interesting segment, on "Desperate Romney"
For the last week or so, there has been a daily smear of Mike Huckabee highlighted on the Drudgereport. Jonathan Martin at Politico calls it what it is:

It smacks of Mitt desperation to the political class who know where Drudge is getting his dirt, but the other 99 percent of Americans who click on the site are only reading negative information about Huck. And it’s now happening on a near-daily basis.

Both Romney and Hillary Clinton have the ability to get Drudge to do their bidding. Both of these campaigns see Huckabee as a threat, Romney immediate and Clinton down the road. Readers of Drudge that are unaware of this get a distorted view of the campaign and of real voter opinion.

1. thats an interesting read and it makes me wonder, Matthew Rhoades, we know
what he's getting but what did Drudge get besides a "steak dinner", what's in it for him, access or something more? In regards to the Senator, who's her connection to Drudge, i didn't see it or i missed it.
