"The GOP doesn't want discussion, it wants followers."

Steve Gilliard on the success of dailykos.com (400,000 readers a day - way ahead of Instapundit's 200,000)

"The GOP desperately wishes to emulate Kos's site and success. They don't have the ability to do so because of the different dynamics of the two parties. The GOP doesn't want discussion, it wants followers. Which means most right Kos clones don'thave the kind of open, freewheeling discussions that Kos does. Kos is clearly becoming an organizing tool for Democratic campaigns and fundraising."

Let's keep this in mind - we have the most successful blog - because we welcome discussions, and because we are the MAJORITY in this country.
