I sure hope not--I like this place. But I was pretty shocked to sign on this morning and find so little updating the last 24 hours or so. This is a huge moment in electoral history, with breaking news coming out with each new poll...but the main page has nothing about the Boston Herald poll, or the brouhaha over Dean's speech. I guess it's a good thing there are the diaries, but still.
Is DKos going to turn into a bitter, pouty, depressed zone? Or is this a funk that can be shaken off relatively soon? Because this is supposed to be the time of the season we were all waiting for, yet the site has slowed down markedly. If it doesn't gear back up, excited Democratic netizens will end up looking elsewhere for their red meat. But I'd hate to see that crowd dissipate to the candidate blogs. We need a rabble-rousing, independent site like this one.
