and a link to the DNC. I don't have ads--I've blocked them.

If you follow the DU link that talks about the Most Popular Democratic Websites (a list from 2006), you get a list that a DUer posted from COMMON DREAMS of the top 25 sites. DU is 4th on that list, but AIR AMERICA RADIO, the Village Voice (really?), and of course, the pubisher of the piece, COMMON DREAMS (which they rank first) are ahead of them.

I don't think DU is top of the pops anymore. It's still a well trafficked site, but it's a niche market.
