The first comment came in within an hour. While I’ve had only one additional comment, the article has registered 44 reads and my blog traffic jumped to 77 hits. I know those are tiny numbers. The point is that this is a blog that gets a total of about 20 hits on a good day. So that’s a big spike. And looking at the nice report I get here on WordPress I can see that this candidate’s name is being fed to technorati and other search engines as a search term very regularly.
