This is why they pay Mark Halperin the big bucks:
See? Without Mark, you never would have had that vitally important bit of knowledge, in your quest to be a well-informed citizen of the Republic. Mark knows that's a front-page story. Mark knows you want to read the entire Roemer press release ("Governor Roemer's Campaign Manager, Carlos Sierra, clarified that Roemer's statement is not meant to imply any decision on Senator Lieberman’s part as to whether he would run for Vice President, only that Governor Roemer thinks highly of the Senator and believes he would be the best person for the job"). That's why Mark's on TV and you're not.
It was either the slowest news day in the history of the world, or else Roemer paid Halperin so he could save himself the time of calling "all" of his supporters personally with this "news", and could continue his game of solitaire in peace.
