Drudge Shows His Hand on Romney March 7, 2012, 11:43 am If there were any lingering doubts about who Matt Drudge wants to win the Republican nomination, his Web site's homepage should dispel them. There, front and center, is a picture of a triumphant Mitt Romney holding an Olympic torch. Just one word appears below the photo. Mr. Drudge's Web site has been distinctly pro-Romney for months, perhaps a reflection of what is said to be a close relationship between Mr. Drudge and Matt Rhoades, Mr. Romney's campaign manager. The site has savaged Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, even drawing the ire of some conservatives who accused Mr. Drudge of selling out to the establishment.
