9,000,000

No, that number isn't the amount of hits we've received here at TPC... not yet anyway. It's all about the voters:

Ben Smith: "Turnout guru Michael McDonald has an early look at the 2008 turnout numbers, and finds that 9 million more people voted in 2008 than in 2004. He finds that black, Hispanic, and youth turnout were up notably, and that white turnout lagged."

I love this on so many levels. And oh, this just in: Guess who the party of the future is...

It's going to take an awful lot of disenfranchisement to counter this trend.
