The government takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac leads the Drudge Report. In related links, Drudge notes that the move could cost the government $200 billion and will force the next president to play a big role in the mortgage crisis. In other political links, Drudge highlights news that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have been dropped as anchors during the station’s election coverage, John McCain’s 10-percent lead over Barack Obama in USA Today’s latest poll of likely voters, and Obama’s slip-up on ABC Sunday in which he talked about his “Muslim faith.”
