Just last week he pushed the story of Ashley Todd, the McCain volunteer who claimed being mugged then having a B carved in her face, only to find out the whole story was a lie. Todd isn’t the only story Drudge got flat wrong this year. There has been countless, but most famously his pushing […]
OMG! Obama is ahead by only 2! That’s the news you get hit in the face with if you go to Drudge. It’s been his top headline since yesterday and the below that was the infamous “developing” he always puts on stories he knows are false. Nate Silver has totally dismantled Drudge’s bogus news and […]
Who won? CBS: Obama 53% McCain 22% CNN: Obama:58% McCain 31% These are polls of undecided voters. McCain needed a game changer tonight and I think he got it. Unfortunately for him it wasn’t in the right direction. He helped make up the minds of more uncommitted and we should expect to see more polls […]

My God could Gwen Ifill have been any more slanted towards Biden? Ok – had to get that little joke out of my system. Despite having one hell of a cold, I managed to watch the whole thing. Honestly, it was exactly what I expected it to be. No massive screw ups from either candidate. […]
Obama made the gesture last night of crossing the aisle to say hello to his opponent: He [Obama] walked over to where McCain was chatting with Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida and Independent Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. And he stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain. McCain shook it, […]
They are going crazy trying to spin away the mountain of new polls showing Obama breaking way out in the lead. Chuck Todd is a major player in this spin game. But it’s funny when you think back a couple week ago when McCain had his post-convention bounce. Then all we heard was that Obama […]
