Why no Drudge on Tom Davis Endorsement

[maxoutco]

Why does it seem that Huntsman bowing out and endorsing Mittens got more play than our Davis endorsement. Our endorsement hit the ticker on CNN, but I never saw any drudge love.

What is going on here?

 

[cero]

don't know don't care

 

[TER]

Yeah, I was kinda hoping it would make it in drudge too. I hope, at least, the local media is mentioning it.

I heard it on the radio here in Houston.

 

[Aratus]

i trust that they are and this gives doctor ron paul TGIF traction as the weekend looms!

I'm thinking it is because Davis is a state level politician, not really well known outside SC.

 

[jbuttell]

yeah, pretty rediculous. Was there no press at the event? The only video I saw of Tom was a blurry video with horrible audio. No real camera crew to record the event? strange.

I can guarantee you that if Santorum got this endorsement, Fox News and CNN would be blasting it through saying, "Does this change everything for Santorum in SC?"

I'm not buying that justification. All the talk on FOX today has been about the SC election and this has at the very least the possibility of bringing some voters on board with RP. So there is no reason other than they deliberately choose to not mention RP's name for fear of giving him attention. We all know if Davis had endorsed Santorum it would be repeated over and over.

The major focus on FOX today has been Huntsman's withdrawal and how it will change the %ages.

It was on Drudge last night, it is now gone.

 

[Refresh the Tree]

The endorsement was not planned well. To be overshadowed by Huntsman dropping out is poor.

 

[walt]

The endorsement was not planned well.

The understatement of 2012.

 

[jonhowe]

We had no way of knowing Huntsman would drop out at this moment. Right before a debate is perfect timing for an endorsement, kinda weird for a dropout...

 

[captain]

How could the Ron Paul campaign know Huntsman was going to drop out at the same time of their big announcement? Typical of the media to ignore this--they are a part of the establishment that bows to the MSM. This is going to be a HUGE LONG FIGHT for Dr. Paul---and I hope he makes it in spite of the terrible odds.

 

[bobburn]

Not planned well? That is an asinine and ridiculous statement. Yesterday was the PERFECT day to announce it. The fact that Huntsman dropped out hours later could not have been predicted.

this. since when do state senators get national coverage for anything ?

Probably correct.

As somebody who has had Drudge as a homepage since 1999, I can tell you that Drudge is as establishment as Fox, CNN and all the rest. I woke up to this fact in 2007 when Paul was running. The only reason I still check Drudge daily is to see what the sheeple are being fed (Hannity, Rush and everyone else covers the material Drudge posts).
