[marmar]

:applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :headbang: :yourock:

1. And some are even people who are here to do more than troll. It's great

that we have so many new folk rolling in and looking to see how they can help save this country!

[karlrschneider]

2. I haven't been watching but when I signed up there were ~20,000

:D

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Yes, and judging from the posts, they are overwhelmingly legit DUers as

well. This is a good thing.

[silverweb]

4. It's all Maveric's fault.

I have it on good authority that he carries around extra DU bumper stickers and uses them for recruiting purposes.

:D

[jobycom]

5. Even excluding the basketballs, we've been growing.

Basketballs, you know, those who come here to see how many times they can get bounced?

[qanda]

6. Yes, and yet the donations seem to be stuck in the 700s

Ante up FOLKS!!!!

7. I made a prediction a few months ago

that there would soon be born again Democrats. (as in "I swear I've always been a liberal dem, I wasn't posting venom on Freerepublic last year") I believe there is a component of that. When winter comes the grasshopper extols the virtues of the ants.

9. never underestimate the desire to fit in

some people just can't stand to swim against the current.

a little frightening to me.

[justinsb]

11. Well, if the current has shifted

that's good enough for now. A few years ago the lemmings were lining up to follow Bush toward the brink, if they are now lining up behind someone headed in the opposite direction then, the person they're following needs to move as fast as possible before they change their minds again.

8. As a newbie I am getting the urge

to get a DU coffee mug, t shirt and baseball cap (my bumper sticker is on the way). This is as close as I come to hobbling a mile on bloody knees to the cross.

[AuntieM1957]

10. Twelve Step Help is on the way

Your higher power surely doesn't need your bloody knees.

No need to "Skinner" your knees.

:pals:

17. HA!

[Divernan]

12. A friend couldn't open my email of DU article cause he wasn't registered.

on DU. He just told me that yesterday. I'm talking about my emailing him a link to a DU thread. Is that correct? If that's the case, a lot of people are registering just to open a single email and may or may not be sticking around.

[Alcibiades]

13. Not everybody

who is new here is a newbie Democrat, or certainly not an ex-Republican looking to "fit in with the newly liberal mood of the country" (God, I wish that that were true.)

Like a lot of folks I basically made working on the Kerry campaign my full-time job last year. After that, I was a wee burnt out, but I learned about DU from some folks I met during the campaign. So I registered a while back.

I think that could be it--a lot of folks still energized from the campaign who got sucked into this whole politics on the Internet thing that the kids are into have finally gotten around to registering on DU.

[think4yourself]

14. Lurking No More!

[faithfulcitizen]

15. funny that you mentioned it...

Hannity has been talking about du a lot on his radio show. (Yes, i listen to it, I love to hear it when he gets so worked up.)

[anitar1]

19. I talked to the people around me at the vigil last night

and told them about DU. Many had never heard of it and were happy to have the info. I am so into DU that it surprises me when people don't know about it.
