For the first time in quite awhile "Chuck for" has political numbers that exceed gun articles and archived posts. The margin is impressive, over 70% of Saturday's mid-day numbers are either the main or today's post. There are two reasons for that, one is unexpected big name news, Bill Clinton's visit to our backwater. I love this place, but we're 10K population in town and total 14K in the entire County of 3500 sq mi. so we're a backwater (not to mention 3D:4.6R). The other, and main driving force was a recommendation from Rick Taylor in the "Comments" over at Balloon Juice. The BJ bunch is pretty rowdy, but they're also smart and savvy, a fine addition if they stick around.
Being a lower tier political blog means you compete for attention in a crowded well developed milieu and you won't get it unless somebody else notices you, someone with access. I don't try to piggy back other people's work by flogging this blog on their sites, I think it's rude and pretentious. Anyhow, I'm glad of the attention and I hope this place has lived up to expectations. And so it's been said, "thanks, Rick."
