Mother Jones Metrics ‘Melted’ After Romney Meltdown
Source: New York Observer

Ms. Bauerlein noted that the video has gotten 2.4 million views that they know of.
Though they are unsure of the total number of visitors, the magazines website received a record number of hits after they published the footage of Mitt Romney speaking candidly at a fundraiser. Their analytical capacities were overwhelmed by the onslaught of traffic, the web site did not go offline because Mother Jones beefed up their back-end in anticipation of an increase in traffic.

LOVE IT! Let's have some MORE! And let's make sure he doesn't get ANYWHERE NEAR the White House - EVER!!!!! Except on one of those public White House tours maybe.
Glad you're here. We need you!
Now get to work.

People are actually interested in what political figures actually say and not the pontifications of the talking heads on tv.
