Chris,

I think your analysis of the 50-state strategy should mention the fact that you guys -- MyDD, Kos, etc. -- have been the biggest proponents of that strategy and have quite effectively sold us regular readers on it.

On topics such as this one, it is not the type of person that reads blogs regularly that matters.  Rather, it is the mere fact that they do read the blogs and are influenced by them.

Nicely done!
