Welcome back; now, what's with this unhealthy obession with ferrets?

Hard to believe that Kos number. Not that I think the kos kids are that literate, but still...

i SAID the Cox book would go straight to the remaindered tables...

Might oughta pick up a copy or two for their collectibility 50 years from now. "Yep, grandchildren, there once was a party called The Democrats. This kind of stuff destroyed it."

By the way, no posts? That's okay. Ferrets? More, please!

No blogroll? Hell, that's got to stop. That's the main reason I visit here.

Markos must have a coffee table with a leg that's exactly 247 books too short.

Dayyum, that's service. Thankee.

I agree with the much-lower-than-reported daily readers theory. If he does in fact have as many as claimed, and unless all of his readers are unemployed adults still living in their parent's basement (a distinct possibility), he would have sold at least a couple of thousand books. It would be very entertaining if, after all this time as being a "kingmaker" for the Dems, he turns out to be the wizard behind the curtain with only a few hundred actual readers!

I actually think that the numbers on Kos are just way early, but I wouldn't be shocked if he never tops Begala/Carville, or even Wonkette.

Welcome back!

I'll bet Kos probably gets a lot of college students for readers, who then graduate and aren't sure what to do with their liberal arts degrees, so they check his site often between the lunch and evening shifts at El Torito.

Don't get me wrong - I was said liberal arts major. I just have a mortgage and kids now.

How's Instapundit's book doing?

No idea.

As of today Friday at 19:00 hours
from Amazon.com

Army of Davids: #114 in books
Crashing the Gates: #602 in books

Don't really knows what that means

It means:

Army of Davids is outselling Cradhing the Gates.

Beyond that its pure speculation.

I speculate that Reynolds has a whole room in his house packed full of his book. Kos has a much smaller house. :-)

"This buttresses my pet theory that the Daily Kos only has 253 individual readers that hit refresh over a half-million times per day."

That would account for the time spent per visit being less then one second.

It will be interesting to see how the Kos numbers stack up over the long term. As to the visit stats, as I understand it, the site is more of group thing, with multiple authors. Seems to me, that makes it much easier to enlarge one's overall numbers. So it really isnt Kos but the combination of everyone writing in their diaries and drawing in readers. Probably just protest kiddies and sheehanbots anyway ;-)
