Big Headline on Drudge. Can't find it on Yahoo so I am guessing it is coming out today. Anyone have info or a link?

Edit. Nevermind. He just put the link up. Stupid poll.

It's actually 42-39 with 15 (!) undecided.

If I'm interpeting these results correctly though, Obama has gone from 1 point down to 3 points ahead.

Outside of trying to find out who McCain would pick for VP, I stayed away from Drudge. It doesn't help anything nor is it dependable.

Not to further beat this horse, but this poll started October 2nd, half a month ago.

It's also an Internet poll.

And a poll of adults.

So...yeah.

Drudge likes it, and that's good enough for me.

Great poll.

how did Drudge get to be so influential? It seems like he's just a random guy with a blog who got the idea to scan the Internets and tabloids before other people did.

He broke the Monica Lewinksy story, and many others.

What would those many other stories be?

He's basically living on something he did 10 years ago. A nice gig if you can get it.

The Swift Boaters for Truth claims, the Obama Somali photo, Prince Harry in Afghanistan...

oftentimes campaigns will leak news to Drudge first too, generally he gets to the news first and has a great nose for what will be driving the news of the day (when he's not giving a BJ to the GOP Tongue).
