Like many other visitors to dKos, I've become a bit of an addict... checking in several times a day. I followed with some amazement what I felt to be the totally overblown reaction to Kos's now infamous "mercenary comment". In my opinion Kos was particularly gracious to those advertisers that decided to leave the site. My reaction, at least at a gut level was..Good Riddance... we've got enough of these Democratic wimps in Washington already!

So it has been particularly gratifying for me to watch the jump in daily visits to dKos since Marcos made his comment last Thursday. dKos received over 125,000 hits on Monday. Of course this may be just a temporary upsurge as a result of the increased publicity or there may be other factors involved like the increased violence in Iraq. But it sure doesn't seem that dKos has been damaged, as some had worried, as a result of the "mercenary flap"...
