Earlier today, the 19 millionth comment posted on Daily Kos was posted by SunWolf78, discussing reasons that Hillary Clinton should not be nominated to be the Vice Presidential candidate.
It took from March 27th until May 7th to go from 18 million to 19 million, clearly a slackening pace compared to the 5 weeks it took to get from 17 to 18 million, and one month (almost to the hour) to get from 16 to 17 million. It remains to be seen if this drop is due to the death of Daily Kos being at hand, or because there wasn't a whole lot going on for much of March and April. The minimal traffic we've had lately has been pretty devastating though. It's like a ghost town around here.
