Wordpress is a CMS. It is more powerful at building "normal site" with a blog or a forum with usual interactions.

Django and RoR are programming frameworks to build web apps with complex user interactions. So forget this.

Drupal sits just in between. It is, however, more of a programming framework than a CMS in my opinion and needs some time before really understanding how it works and how to best use it. Basically, you will have to build your site several times before being satisfied.

Search google and will see lots of comparisons between those four.

Depending on your timeframe, I suggest you use Wordpress and a good coffee machine.

If you are already familiar with WordPress and you plan only static pages with blog in the future then WordPress is the logical choice. I would have recommended WordPress even if you didn't have any previous experience with it. It just fits the type of the site you plan to create.
