The Drudge Report has given far better coverage recently to John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin than it has to Barack Obama, a phenomenon that’s explained more by Drudge’s hunger for traffic instead of its ideology, writes Chris Cillizza. Senate Democrats’ powerful new ad in Minnesota, which features two parents of a killed U.S. serviceman railing against Sen. Norm Coleman’s (R) support for the Iraq war, has the potential to help and hurt Democrat Al Franken, writes Cillizza.
