Drudge is known for rewording the headline and linking to the entire article that then spells a different tone. Interesting that he took this small article in the Republic and made it appear that this was an official poll for the state.

1. All that Drudge headline for a poll that involved "over 40 people".
What a waste of good bandwidth!

2. We had a straw poll? When?

Oh, good lord, 40 residents of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills are sooo representative of the rest of the state.

GMAFB. :eyes:

What a weasel. Some DU'ers have been using Drudge-oriented crappola as a cudgel here at DU. Yikes.

4. No, no, no! I refuse to believe that Matt Drudge is a lying sack of shit!
No way would he try to manipulate the simple minded, knuckledragging lemmings who read his fine web page. He is incapable of trying to create the news, invoke ridiculous spin, or pulling stories out of his quite roomy ass.

I demand a retraction!

5. Al Gore is surprise choice of Scottsdale Dems

I think the original title was just fine.
