Drudge propaganda in overdrive

[Click for a larger, more pathetic view]

You have to give GOP hack Matt Drudge credit - he is consistent. Consistently wrong, but consistent.

The latest example of his desperation and exasperation is how he mindlessly pimps polls numbers that are manipulated at best, and in most cases are flat-out wrong. According to every poll I've seen, Obama has a pretty good, but not insurmountable lead, on McCain.

According to Electoral-Vote, here are the latest polls (and the Votemaster updates polls every day):

- AP (Obama +8)
- Battleground (Obama +4)
- Diageo (Obama +7)
- Gallup expanded (Obama +9)
- IBD (Obama +4)
- Marist (Obama +7)
- Rasmussen (Obama +4)
- Research 2000 (Obama +6)
- Washington Post/ABC (Obama +9)
- Zogby (Obama +5)

So much for McCain "being in the lead." Just because Drudge puts it on his GOP talking-points site doesn't make it so. Unfortunately, many in our corporate media take their talking points right from his site, as if Drudge is some sort of journalist or something. By the way, what's with the McCain & Palin winking at every opportunity, as well as the right-wing media's obsession with portraying it? Someone needs to tell them that when you *Wink* in most cases it means that you're kidding, being devious, joking, etc. Wait - hopefully they keep doing it.

To look at the headlines, it's not too hard to conclude that like many McCain supporters, he's simply making shit up now to make Obama and the Democrats look bad.

We'll know in three days.
