I realize much of what Drudge conveys as news is often misleading, however I hope this time he's right when he posts:

Bill Clinton spoke with John Kerry from his hospital bed on Saturday night in a 90-minute conversation in which he offered Kerry detailed advice on how to reinvigorate his candidacy...

Drudge also links a story informing us the "October Surprise" is right on schedule:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - The United States and its allies have moved closer to capturing Osama bin Laden in the last two months, a top U.S. counterterrorism official said in a television interview broadcast Saturday.

In raw fashion, it offers up one of the truest advantages held by the incumbent -- mainly because he is the commander in chief.
