No, it's there. It's just the press release, but at least they picked it up.

I tweeted it to Jon Stewart with question why is there only a press release

It is good they picked it up, but it would be better if they had a story written themselves about it. It looks too much like an advertisement by the Ron Paul campaign to most people than a news story. That will make many think it is just an ad and not a real story. I guess we have to take what we can get now, but any other candidate beating Romney at this stage would have got huge press coverage I think.

I agree. I think it is ridiculous they go on for weeks about stuff like this until they arbitrarily shut down the primary as 'over' when they feel like it.

I remember LA's dirty tricks back in 2008 when we were set to win the caucus. Not this time GOP.

I'm sure they won't capitulate without a fight.

Serves him right. "We aren't endorsing any candidate but we want everyone to come together behind Mitt Romney....'

Pretty worthless. I don't know why I still try. I've partaken in probably ten "drudgebombs" and not a single time did he put our story up.

The last effective drudge bomb I recall was back when Gingrich's security broke a Paul supporter's foot. I still drudge even though I have zero faith that Matt will run with it.....

I've turned my back on FoxNews, FoxNews Sunday, RealClearPolitics.com, Google as a search engine, Limbaugh, o'reilly, Beck, and Hannity.

I'd love to turn my back on Drudge because he supports a liberal to be the Republican nominee for president, but damn it...he's got the best news aggregation site out there.

I searched Drudge for 'Ron Paul' this morning and realized they haven't linked an article about him since March.

The fact that there is so little media on it should really wake people up to the manipulativeness of the media.
