Gallup shocker! Except:

None of the dozen or so other polls that were in the field this week shows a race that close. Nor do either of the alternate versions of Gallup’s model, including the so-called Likely Voters II model that I find most credible. (Drudge, of course, had no interest in featuring the Zogby poll, as he had for the past several of days on his site, but which today showed Obama gaining ground.)

Let me be clear: I don’t blame Drudge for trying to drive the narrative. Unlike certain other folks, it’s not as though he’s made any claim to being objective.

Oh, but conservatives don’t try to “drive the narrative.” Geraldo told me so on Fox News this morning - where I caught a snippet of him getting all upset about Obama’s takedown Wednesday night. Fox News is objective! So is Drudge!

In conservative la-la land.
