Daily Kos is flirting, once again, with having its best month ever in terms of unique visitors:
That's a hekuvalot of energy represented in that one graph. And while I love it, I love seeing the malaise and decline in right-wing online sites even more. Head below the fold for some fun charts!

Drudge Report, still pretty big, but down a third from its peak, and the trend is unmistakable:
Newsmax doesn't let Quantcast directly measure its traffic, so it's a statistical measure:
Remember
Pajamas Media, home of Instapundit?
For shits and giggles, here's
DickMorris.com. I love the "Romney is going to win landslide election bump"! Conservatives sure do crave people telling them what they want to hear.
I tried to look up Powerline's stats. Remember them? They
blocked their Quantcast stats. Wonder why...
So did Breitbart, by the way. No one blocks their stats if they're growing.
World News Daily is something of a slow fade:
Fox News is static. Big, no doubt! But static.
You know who IS growing? Glenn Beck's
The Blaze:
Also growing massively is
IJ Review, which is their version of Upworthy:
But aside from Glenn Beck and their version of a clickbait site, their overall traffic is suffering. Maybe it means nothing, but I hope it does. Because if it's a proxy for base engagement, it would explain why Republicans are so hell-bent on base mobilization efforts (like suing the president) during an off-year election when their base should already be engaged.
