2016 elections - because it's never too early

[bogh]

While it's hard to make an apple to apples comparison since the numbers are reported differently; radio seems to be minor as compared to internet news.  CNN.com (the largest on line news source in the United States) had over 60 million unique viewers in January, by June they were over 110 million.

Yes but that includes every single time anyone clicks on a link.

That's a different metric; CNN had nearly 2 Billion "Views" in June.

To be fair, unique viewers (users) for a website denotes unique browser/device visits. I access cnn.com through my personal laptop, my iPhone, my iPad, my work PC and a number of other devices. Each of these count as a "unique viewer" in website analytics, so the actual number of people reached is much lower, though obviously tempered by the fact that some devices are shared by multiple people and only counted once. Anyone clearing out their cookies, browsing incognito, changing browsers etc. are also likely to show up as multiple users. Beyond that there are issues with bots, crawlers and all sorts of other things contaminating the traffic.

Website stats are great for trend analysis for a particular website or comparing website to website, but hard to compare with other types of media consumption. Other metrics would help get a better comparison - e.g. total time spent on site.

[grumbler]

I'm frickin' going.

I'd bet most of the people going were honest about their vote, though.

I wonder if that we will become a thing with spicey's alt-right crowd. "I supported Der Trumpenfuhrer BEFORE he was elected!"

[derspiess]

I'm not going

[FunkMonk]

I'm not going

Damn.

I would genuinely be interested in a first-hand account from a languishite about what goes on in his rallies.

Not sure if derspiess would be the best to report back, what with all that blood leaving the head for different parts of the body once Trump is on stage.

So here's the "new" Democratic leadership elected by the party today:

Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, 76 years old
Representative Steny Hoyer of Maryland, 77 years old
Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina, 76 years old
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, 66 years old

Good luck!

[Grey Fox]

All politicians are too old.

Also Obama still not available.

No surprise on Pelosi, sad to say.
