Clinton Finds Way to Play Along With Drudge

Mrs. Clinton’s aides declined to discuss how the Drudge Report got access to
her latest fund-raising figures nearly 20 minutes before the official announcement
went to supporters. But it was a prime example of a development that has surprised
much of the political world: Mrs. Clinton is learning to play nice with the Drudge
Report and the powerful, elusive and conservative-leaning man behind it.

Though liberals say the site’s ideological imbalance remains plain, Republicans,
who viewed the site as theirs in campaigns past say they are noticing what they
believe to be more Democratic driven — often Clinton driven — items on it. And,
as New York magazine reported recently, Mr. Drudge sometimes mentioned Mrs. Clinton
favorably on his syndicated radio program, even if no one really knows whether his
comments reflected admiration or simply a recognition that keeping her in the news
is good for his business.

She takes money from Murdoch, and feeds Drudge info.

I bet they wait until after the primaries to turn on her.

I think this was a clever move by Hillary's people...playing Drudge for their purposes. It's the same with Murdoch...if he wants to buy in, his cash is as green as any and it sure hasn't bought the Clinton's much on Murdoch's media propaganda machine. In the meantime, that money can and will be used in the general election to blow away whomever Repugnican sockpuppet wins the nomination. This is playing the game smart...hold your friends close, your enemies closer.

she's in it to win it.

How naive.

the fact was, that day, she (presumably) used Drudge to her advantage. Good for her.

flock together

her and drudge are on the SAME team.

here on DU. And besides it has been shot down 1000 times. Why in the devil don't you people post intelligent, truthful messages. Why don't you post informative and truthful messages about your guy instead of the trash you find on some of the hate Hillary sites. Boo Hiss.

Oh wait...he's not your choice so that's different.

Take the blinders off, even if just for one day, and stop being so damn whiny.
