A Note To Readers - And Especially To Commenters

It's been an exciting week here at NewMajority. It was just Feb. 27 that Rush Limbaugh declared in his speech at CPAC that would-be Republican reformers must be stamped out. Since then, we've had some exciting exchanges with Rush and his many, many admirers, supporters and dependents. The issues at stake could not be more important. Shall conservatives and Republicans subside into a movement of cultural protest? Or shall we restore ourselves as a grand national governing coalition? This discussion has now reached close to 300,000 unique visitors here at NewMajority. We're very excited by the continuing improvement in our various wonky web metrics: average duration of a visit to the site, number of pages read, that kind of thing. Above all, we are all of us here at FF gratified by our array of new writers and valued independent commenters. We are planning further improvements. I hope everyone has seen Tim Mak's excellent “At the Trough” series over on the right hand side of the page, updated regularly with new outrages from the Congress' spending plans. In the coming weeks, we'll be making more changes: a redesign that will ease navigation around the site; new video features; and reader diaries that will put our commenters on the front page, where they belong. We'll keep you informed as we go. And thanks to all who have come by to read, to comment, to contribute - or to dissent.
