Reply #251: There are far more Clark supporters on DU than on the Clark blog

[Sopianae]

There are about 10 active users online on the Clark blog right now. Please, understand that most users stopped visiting and/or posting on the Clark blog since Wes dropped out. I only check it once a month or so, mostly when someone posts a link to the Clark blog on DU.

Btw, the following blogs have links posted on the Clark blog:

A Democratic candidate's supporters MIGHT be interested in other Democratic/Progressive blogs and discussion boards. I found many left-leaning sites through the Clark blog (not DU, interestingly - even though it is listed, I happened upon it from some other site). Is that a bad thing???

As for linking to specific polls, it's nothing more than linking to ANYTHING Clark related. Kind of like any other candidate's supporters do on their board/blog/yahoo group/whatever. Kind of what you would expect on a blog dedicated to promote one specific candidate.

Again, the numbers of active users on the Clark board is rather small. OTOH, DU has been growing for years. A small number of Clark supporters won't influence a poll on DU, since DU has much higher number of active users. To disregard the results of a poll on DU simply because of this is foolish.

I do recognize a lot of old-timers on other boards like Dailykos, Atrios and of course DU. After the primaries, a lot of Clark supporters found a "new home." It's simply because most of them are political junkies. They are NOT a part of some conspiracy to promote Clark and Clark only. Most of them are very active in their local party and participate in a variety of activities to promote Democrats nationwide.
