Note that in the furor over McCain's absence from the supposed "cone of silence" at the Saddleback forum last Saturday night, the McCain campaign is repeatedly stating that McCain did not hear any of the proceedings... but they aren't saying he wasn't coached or fed the questions by someone who did hear the broadcast, are they...?

During Saturday night's forum in Saddleback, Senator John McCain was asked what income level constituted "rich" - and he answered $5 million or more. Other millionaires ($2 million... $3 million,... $4 million...) aren't rich, in McCain's view, and shouldn't be taxed as if they were... It makes you wonder just how out of touch John McCain is with most of Americans. So does this video...

Hmm...
2) Have Japanese schoolgirls wear them briefly, then sell them in vending machines.
2) Have someone write a best-selling series of books about "Captain Underpants," then sell them as "Authentic 'Captain Underpants' Underpants."
2) List them on E-Bay as "Paris Hilton's Unwanted Christmas Presents."
2) Ransom them back to their rightful owners.
2) Same as the "Captain Underpants" one above, but sell them all to Michael Jackson.
2) Put on underpants and rest of clothing, go out and get a real job.
2) Trade underpants to neighborhood pervert for lottery tickets.
OK, I think that's enough...

Francis... mega kudos on the South Park reference. I was taking Managerial Economics at the time I first saw that episode... good times, man.
And for the record:
2) sell them to Bill Clinton for his use as tax credit

So... are we suggesting more fraudulent circulation numbers from a member of the liberal media?
Surely they have too much moral fiber!

Kos uses Blogads, so the calculation for number of users is the same you use. He also uses Sitemeter - - the same thing you use.
You can question some of the practices of his members, but I don't think you can say he doesn't have visitors. He has a community that puts up hundreds of diaries a day, and his main site posts routinely get over 200 comments.
It is as "popular" as the numbers state.

If I was popular for the kind of trash he posts, I'd have to jump off the nearest building.

If he has so many readers then why did they have to manipulate the polls. Doesn't add up.

I guess we could just run with speculation here, consider some possibilities...such as:
BillK writes that threads on KOS receive "200 comments" or thereabouts, of which I'm assuming there are several by the same individuals...such that, say, perhaps, reasonably, there may be 10, 20, maybe 50 people writing several comments each, each thread...
Then, considering that, then there are 50 people who frequent KOS and comment there, who are irritated that KOS isn't "winning" and want to tip the voting process so that a site with 50 regulars want to rule the web. Or, something like that.
Just saying...the possibilities include the fact that a handful (50 - to - 100 daily visitors/commentors on threads there represents "a handful" to me) of regulars on KOS' site are driven by the need to be noticed and are intolerant of anyone else's preferences. It's a thought.
