hillary and Drudge

*** Hillary and Drudge: You've heard of open secrets. Well, in the presidential press corps, it's been an open secret for some time that there appears to be some semi-formal relationship between Drudge and the Clinton campaign. And today, the New York Times’ Rutenberg exposes that relationship. In fact, he identifies the person who appears to be Clinton's link to Drudge: ex-DNC official Tracy Sefl. This is yet another example of how the Clinton campaign appears to be mimicking -- operationally -- the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. Also, maybe it isn't odd that Clinton and Drudge are working together. After all, if it wasn't for the greatest Drudge leak ever known -- the Monica story -- would Clinton have ever ended up in the U.S. Senate after the 2000 elections? Speaking of open secrets, Newsweek’s chief investigative bulldog, Michael Isikoff, wonders why Clinton, who has promised transparency on the campaign trail, isn't opening up her First Lady records at the Clinton Presidential Library.

1. Obama supporters see that as a bad thing?

That's odd, they quote Drudge quite a bit when smearing Hillary.

2. The last six times this story was posted I thought there might be a point.

Now, I see an agenda, not a point.
Somebody might've leaked some postive numbers to the press a few minutes before they went 'public'.
And wackos see that as a plot to suppress coverage of one of hundreds on Obama stump speeches?
That's just silly.

3. Why do you capitalize Drudge and not Hillary? Just wondering. n/t
