Halperin: Santorum Might Have Media "Rooting For Him"
MARK HALPERIN: "One of the vulnerabilities Mitt Romney has is the press has not been rooting for him, the way the press was rooting for George Bush in '99, for McCain later in that campaign. It's left him vulnerable, but there's been no one in the race that the press has really rooted for to take over from Romney and take him on. None of them has really courted the press. I'm talking about the press across the board, not just the old media but the new media as well. Santorum has that potential right now. But he is prickly, particularly with reporters. It's a reality of the process, you've got to have some people in the media implicitly at least cheering for you. Santorum can do that. He can do it." (via Newsbusters)
