There have been a lot of new users over the past 6 months or so at OpenLeft and a broader community folks that have started reading the site. For an interesting OpenLeft evening thread- both for the newbies who haven’t read our older stuff, as well as for you longtime readers’ interest- I thought I’d put up an evening thread with our most highly-trafficked posts (measured by Google Analytics pageviews) since we launched in July 2007. I left off two that were more quick blips in policy fights- such as breaking news of a Senator coming out in favor of something- than substantive pieces.
Happy reading, and feel free to list some of your own favorites (with links, if possible) in the comments.
This is an open thread.
#1 Republican leader John Boehner demanding the White House post its health care proposal online, then attacking them for doing exactly that.
#2 An e-mail sent to Matt Stoller (an OpenLeft founder and alum), from a very pissed off member of Congress, which he published.
#3 Chris noting how several large traditional media websites refused to admit Obama was 270 electoral votes leading up to the 2008 election
#4 and #5 My live-blogging of election results from the No On 1 boiler room in Portland.
#6 Republican netroots suckitude.
#7. Chris’ prediction that if Sarah Palin runs for President, she will win the Republican nomination in 2012.
#8 George W. Bush: Congress doesn’t exist unless I say it does.
#9 Documenting how George W. Bush is the least popular President since polling actually came into existence.
#10 From Laughing Liberally, top ten most outrageous quotes from McCain’s “spiritual advisers”.
#11 Matt Stoller on whether McCain tampered with DEA enforcement to cover up his wife’s drug use.
#12 Chris arguing in the first week of February, 2008 the importance of superdelegates in determining the 2008 nominee.
#13 Our Bush Dog Democrats action campaign.
#14 Chris’ tips on everything you need to know about parsing daily tracking polls.
#15 Matt Stoller on Obama’s praise of Ronald Reagan and the narrative around Reagan in general.
This is different than a “best of” list, which is perhaps even more worth of checking out. For what we think of as our own “best-of” list (as well as some reader suggestions), you can find that in a series of posts here.
