Thanks to Rusty's hard work, Daily Kos is more stable now than ever. The first version of Daily Kos scoop would've crumbled under the
current load of traffic (nearly 20,000 page views/hour as of this writing). Now, the site is currently humming along.
However, I expect traffic to rise significantly as the evening approaches. During NH, I stripped down the site to its bare essentials, including turning off the "recent diaries" box. Don't be surprised if I have to take those steps again. Thanks for understanding.
