****DRUDGE SAYS OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE****
Take it for what it's worth and consider the fact the Hillary has canceled her media appearances tomorrow.

Drudge doesn't have much credibility in my book, but he does have a pretty big influence on US media. :shrug:

1. Of FAR more importance: DEMOCRATS say Obama is the nominee.
Sheesh - what will it take to get DUers off of their drudge-crack?

2. Since when does Drudge have a big influence on the media?
He had all of five minutes during that whole Bill and Monica mess years ago.

I'll never understand why folks give that icky site traffic.

17. I thought his big Clinton "splash" this morning was all spin, too
"CLINTON TEAM INTERNALS SHOW 15 POINT ROUT IN NORTH CAROLINA"

I thought he was bullshitting and setting high expectations in collusion with the Clintonistas for Obama.

Turns out they were both right/wrong. :-)

hapy about Obama. Drudge is shit and after what he tried to do to Kerry in 2004---well fuck Drudge and his waning influence.

11. Ya , he is an ass, but....
Just think back to the Obama Kenya clothing "scandal." Drudge drove it and the media was eating out of his hand. He still has a pretty big influence on US media whether you want to admit it or not.

10. I don't put all that much import in the cancellations, but on the radio today...
they were saying that the RW wants Obama (Drudge is already all over it, and I think the Limbaugh Chaos Shit was actually a reverse barometer), and that M$M is tired of just having one back & forth story...now there's a headline.

Though insofar as the cancellations; I know that if I fought as hard as either one of them *I'd* be taking the morning off :thumbsup:
