When Drudge put that photo up last night, the words under it were “Grand Finale”. My take was that Drudge was saying the debate last night was Obama’s Grand Finale - since he was the only one in the photo. If he was talking about the Grand Finale only in terms of it having been the last debate, he would have put a pic up with both 0bama and Romney.
Today, the photo has changed. The words still say “Grand Finale” but, again, there is only one candidate in the photo — Obama.
Just my 2 cents.
Your take is probably true. But I have been reading Hillbuzz. Where the idea is that Drudge sends more than one message with his headlines and pictures and placements on his page. He puts messages up in a clever way to send messages. What better way to start the earpiece buzz on the internet than by choosing that exact pic and leaving it up for more than 12 hours.
He just now changed that pic.
