Here’s a brief tour of 2012 as the Drudge Report covered it.

  • Mitt Romney picked Condoleezza Rice as his running mate.
  • Mitt Romney picked Gen. David Petraeus as his running mate.
  • News that Barack Obama secretly invented a girlfriend in his book rocked the nation.
  • Mitt Romney selected Tim Pawlenty as his running mate.
  • A video of Barack Obama saying “I believe in redistribution” changed the course of the presidential race.
  • A video of Barack Obama speaking to black people in 2007 changed the course of the presidential race.
  • A shocking late-October bombshell announcement from Donald Trump changed the course of the presidential race.
  • Jake Gyllenhaal endorsed Mitt Romney.
  • Barack Obama accepted campaign donations from Osama bin Laden.
  • “Vanloads of Somalians” committed voter fraud in Ohio.
  • Most national public opinion polls of the presidential race were decidedly inaccurate until “unskewed” to represent a more Republican electorate.
  • The exception: Polls from Rasmussen.
  • Election Day exit polls were initially a “BOOM FOR O” and then, strangely, simply “tight,” and then they ceased to exist entirely.

    • Here are a couple things you might have missed this campaign season, because Drudge — who “rules our world” — did not cover them, at all:

    • Mitt Romney was secretly videotaped insulting 47 percent of Americans for being dependent on handouts.
    • Basically every poll that showed Obama beating Romney.
    Drudge wrapped up 2012 by posting a banner headline that consisted solely of the slightly censored epithet “N*GGER” seven times in a row and leaving that headline up all day.

    Matt Drudge: Truly still the Walter Cronkite of our time.
