Hillary Clinton and Drudge

Given how much attention Halperin and Harris give to Matt Drudge and the Freak Show, I found this article in the New York Times to be very interesting. It goes together so nicely, you would almost think that people in Hillary campaign were reading our books.
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.
