It's similar to slashdot in that being linked at drudge causes several shut downs a year of websites that aren't used to the traffic. I believe drudge was the first source for the monica lewinsky scandal. Better one stop place for news though? I'm not so sure. It's a pretty biased news sights especially in its photo selection and headlines. I don't really appreciate about how he can so often guide discussion, but I have to admit he's fucking good at what he does. edit: i'm not saying it's more highly viewed that porn/search sites, but i'm pretty sure you're underestimating the traffic/impact drudge has. | ||

I'd highly doubt if there weren't at least a minimum of 100 people on TL that browses Drudge and I'm one of them. News to me :O . My dad showed it to me and i thought it was just an obscure corner of the internet. | ||

To add salt to the wound Fox News actually called him out on it as well as his flips flops and Romney actually got flustered and afterwards said the interview was a hit piece. Part of Interview: | ||

The two party-system (or rather the winner take all system) is only different than the multiparty/proportional representation system in that it forces citizens to compromise with each other rather than forcing legislators to compromise with each other. (ie you have to support a party nominee that is a compromise... ie one that can actually win, if you want your voice to get to the national stage... but once on the national stage, that nominee has less compromising they need to do... hence the "republicrat" insult.) | ||

I think the problem is that we have closer to a one-party system which has caused both sides to diverge farther from the center because neither are happy. There really hasn't been much of a difference between Bush and Obama and neither side is happy with either of them. Really the only thing that is more divided is the rhetoric. | ||
