Believe it or not, I had forgotten all about Matt Drudge.

...So when do Rush and Ann become irrelevant?  --What, already?  Great!!

(YAWN!)  Only one poll matters, and thats by secret ballot in 12 days.  People do say different things then they believe if they fear being called a racist.  Don't swim in your own shit yet.

EDIT: Drudge's frequency of how many people view his page certainly hasn't dropped:

026,619,841 IN PAST 24 HOURS
807,284,101 IN PAST 31 DAYS
6,886,716,197 IN PAST YEAR

Drudge pimps his traffic with an autoreload header. He also counts all page loads as visitors.

Although he's still huge, Huffington Post passed him in February and now draws two million more visitors a month:

I was scared by my own image in the sidebar here. I should avoid "you, the man, no, you the man" conversations when people are taking pictures.

Wait a minute. You're not suggesting that Drudge's figures aren't entirely accurate, are you? A charge such as that might suggest his reporting is anything less than accurate, or - laughably - simply self-promoting.

There has been no discernible Bradley Effect thus far in the campaigns.

You can get pretty thick Tojo.  The Bradley Effect only happens in the polling booth when guys who had pretended to be Obama supporters so they could fuck hippie chicks instead vote their conscience.

Did you read the post I was responding to?  Now to finish the context, combine it with the fact that Obama is in the lead.  Got it?  Good.

I love how some polls have Obama up by as much as 12 points, while Gallup has him up by as little as 4 (within the margin of error). Big difference between 12 and 4....

Also Gallup is not showing an increase in the proportion of 1st time voters, which doesn't bode well for McCain. Remember, lack of college-age turn out killed both Gore and Kerry.

Wow, it's amazing. I just noticed that the AP poll for today has Obama up by ONE POINT. But, what, the "headline news" says, "OBAMA LEAD GROWS TO 12 POINTS!"?

So the AP has him by 1, Gallup by 4, but NBC says 12 so that's the story everyone gets to hear.

Yep, fair and balanced there...

You know, at this point I've gone way beyond caring about who wins as much as realizing how bad propaganda in the United States is. I'm sure Obama is a good guy who is going to try to do what he thinks is right, if elected. But seeing the willing manipulation of information by mainstream media is amazing albeit not surprising.

I had to actually "LOOK" for the AP and Gallup poll results, where the "12 point" is right in my face on my home page.

Old Joe Goebbels would be proud....

Neither of those matter as much as the trending information.  No two polls are going to have the exact same information.  http://fivethirtyeight.com has the best breakdown of numbers and probabilities I've found.

Hello, poppa! Does this mean you really keep an eye turned to your ginger stepkids? Admit it, you still love us!

I check in on High Street more than I checked in on Cruel.Com.

How apropos that you post your vasectomy account in our "Neutered Queen" thread.

Stein replaced several of his vasectomy billboards across the state with the cutting message "Stop McSame." Stein tells me with great excitement the interest his effort has generated. White calls this campaign "preventing unwanted presidents."

A purely prophylactic procedure.

You created us, Victor Frankenstein...

Yes, but how could he have known that we would not only learn English but also Roman mythology and classical literature while lurking in the attic for a couple of years?

You know Taint, you really should be more grateful. All I got was "Epic Gargamel Fanfic".

Whiny boys. All that we girls had to look forward to was the weekly carrot delivery and the occasional, dog-eared "Penthouse Forum Letters" anthology.
