No doubt maybe his latest partner in South Beach has impacted him.

Rush & Drudge are joined at the hip & always have been. This is all part of Operation Chaos. And I know they are thrilled that they can even fool some FReepers.

That is my gut belief also. Wait till Hillary is dead (after the convention - no sooner)

I don't think so >Look at the Drudge Report headline tonight . Another Obama glowing photo OP . he is in the tank for the leftist and it might be related to just surviving . The Marxist's Obama and Michele will shut us up as soon as they gain power. Matt might think they will allow him to stay open with his non stop Obamathon on his website.

I have wondered why Drudge dropped his popular Sunday radio show. Maybe he was planning to support Obammy all along, and he did not want to get caught up in any equal time mess.

Drudge has been ignoring and downplaying all of Obama’s negative stories and highlighting all of the negatives on Clinton and McCain.

He is completely in the tank for Obama and its sickening seeing I turn to online media because the MSM is so corrupt.

Well perhaps conservatives who put Drudge on the map by reading him should boycott him. He lives and breathes because of our clicks. Perhaps we should click him where it hurts?

I don’t think Drudge is pro-Obama. He just dislikes Hillary like I do.

Drudge is extremely pro-life. On his radio show I used to listen to him talk eloquently about pro-life issues.

If Obama is elected, Drudge knows that Roe will never be overturned and it will be abortion on demand.

Drudge will come back home this fall. He doesn’t want to see more Ruth Buzzi Ginsburgs on the court.

Ben Ficklin: “I’ve got to think that Drudge’s homosexuality is influencing his shift away from the GOP.”

I’ve read Drudge since he was on Usenet and I have a strong suspicion this what you say is true. I had hope that Drudge would straighten out his lifestyle when he became friends with Roy Masters (on XM’s America Right channel). Drudge had Roy on his old Fox tv show several times and Roy Masters has helped many come out of homosexuality. Then over the succeeding years Drudge became very very close with homosexual activist Andrew Sullivan. I guarantee there is a lot there that won’t come out for years. It’s sad to see Drudge slowly go to the dark side like this.

Folks, get a grip. The fact that Drudge even put this story up on his website should tell you all you need to know. Remember those stories at the beginning of the primary/caucus season that Drudge had joined with Clinton staffers for flowing insider info through him? How’s that story look now? People jump to conclusions way too fast around here.

Drudge is getting payback on Hillary for the Blumenthal lawsuit among other things.

Drudge’s coverage of Obama change once Hillary is out.

Very interesting article, even if it is in the Liberal Rag Politico. The author is correct, McCain could REALLY use a better and more positive coverage from Drudge. hum.... My own humble opinion is that it should come from McCain's Military service.... how to make that a story..... Those are the lines his campaign should be looking to. And finding out where Drudge has some of his moles stored.... Drudge LOVES thinking he's got the scoop, thats better than even a leak sometimes. Either way, the GOP had best pay attention.

Matt Drudge must be enjoying that article immensely! I think he enjoys being the man of mystery and whatever power that brings more than he needs to be seen as partisan. And it’s not hurting his bank account.
