UPDATE: Speaking of polls, Matt Drudge is at it again, pimping another poll that shows John McCain gaining on Barack Obama.
Yesterday, I told you HERE of the Drudge Report going bananas over a Gallup poll that used questionable methodology.

UPDATE II: Meanwhile, the latest Diageo/Hotline daily tracking poll SHOWS Obama with a 10-point lead.

UPDATE: More on the ACORN “scandal” HERE.
UPDATE II: Still more on ACORN HERE.
UPDATE III: Yet more on ACORN HERE.
UPDATE IV: The Obama camp is LINKING the ACORN probe to the U.S. attorneys scandal.
