I've used Drupal before (for a local political campaign) and it served me well, but we don't have a designer that can get something really nice up layout-wise, while Wordpress has more newspaper- and magazine-type themes than you can count on your fingers and toes. If there were something really nifty that built on Drupal (something similar to Plone's publication control) then I'd seriously consider using it, but for now, Wordpress is the favorite.
