OBAMA: ROMNEY WANTS VP PETRAEUS

**Exclusive** 

President Obama whispered to a top fundraiser this week that he believes GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney wants to name Gen. David Petraeus to the VP slot! 

"The president wasn't joking," the insider explains to the DRUDGE REPORT. 

A Petraeus drama has been quietly building behind the scenes. 

Romney is believed to have secretly met with the four-star general in New Hampshire. 

The pick could be a shrewd Romney choice. A cross-party pull. The Obama administration hailed Petraeus as one of history's greatest military strategists. Petraeus was unanimously confirmed as the Director of the CIA by the US Senate 94-0. 

But Petraeus has categorically asserted that he has NO political ambitions. And Team Obama stands prepared to tie one of their own to "Bush wars." A Petraeus pick could been seen as simply shuffling the decks of power in DC. 

"He's a serious man, for seriously dangerous times," notes a top Republican. 

A DRUDGE POLL on Tuesday morning showed readers split on if Romney should give it a go. 

And the calendar is running out of days.

No entanto, ninguém acredita que tal suceda, desconfio que nem o Matt Drudge. Recordo o que disse Mark Halperin ontem, no post que citei aqui: estejam atentos ao Drudge Report, tanto às pistas como aos sinais errados. Não me parece difícil saber onde podemos enquadrar esta notícia.
