The blog you are reading now gets about 15,000 hits per month. The Daily Dish gets more like 20,000,000 hits per month! After a very slow start this blog has had about 600,000 hits since October 2004. That’s only a fraction of the hits The Daily Dish gets in one month!
After Sullivan moved his blog to the website of Atlantic Monthly magazine, the traffic there increased by 30%!
Politicians from Condoleezza Rice to Barack Obama have been known to cozy up to Sullivan in the hope of reading friendly posts about them on The Daily Dish.
Occasionally I have read hateful stories about British-born Andrew Sullivan, posted on third-rate blogs, that delve into his personal life and preferences. These slurs and slanders are completely unfair! His personal life should not be fair game!
I have often wondered if the fact that he has been HIV positive for several years tends to drive him. He is a tireless writer. He posts more entries to his blog in one day than most post in a month! Yesterday I checked to see how many entries were made. I stopped counting at 40!
I do not read The Daily Dish with any regularity. Sullivan wrote one time that he was a conservative Libertarian but he is too liberal for me. Recently, however, he seems to have turned against Barack Obama, a man he championed much of last year. It will be interesting to see how long that will last.
