Drudge and the creaky "comeback" narrative

October 13, 2008 7:23 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

This morning The Drudge Report, busy hyping a possible McCain comeback storyline, linked to at least three related headlines:

ZOGBY MONDAY: OBAMA 48%, MCCAIN 44%...

RASMUSSEN MONDAY: OBAMA 50%, MCCAIN 45%...

GALLUP DAILY: Obama-McCain Gap Narrows...

Which one of those thee does not belong? The Gallup headline, because it's updated daily poll shows Obama back up by ten.

So Drudge simply took down that headline and left up the other two, as the site continues to press the "comeback" theme.
