As around 8:30 this morning, the blog hit a milestone… 500,029 unique visitors since its launch less than three months ago. While that might not seem like a lot as compared to some of the larger (or even medium-sized) blogs out there, it sure seems like a lot of eyeballs to me. And I just wanted to post to thank everyone for helping me get this thing off the ground.
I don’t know - maybe I’m preaching to the choir here - but I’d like to think that, in its own small way, the site could make a difference in the election. I mean, Florida was decided by a handful of people in 2000… so is it really so crazy to think that keeping the age issue top of mind with hundreds of thousands of people might help tip the scale to the left? Maybe. But maybe not.
This site is ad-free and, with the exception of the plug for my book, it will stay that way. So know that I have no ulterior motive when I ask you - as I’m asking you now - to please forward this link around to people who haven’t seen the site before so we can get to north of 1,000,000 visitors come November.
Thanks again.
Joe
Well deserved! This blog is unquestionably the most active and well maintained in this subject area - you’ve earned it.
It ain’t that easy to find and post the volume you have provided us and for your efforts I am grateful.
I’ve been to the other sites that are trying to inform the voters about this candidate but there is no comparison to http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com
You, sir, are a great American

I have enjoyed your site so much for the past few months. I showed it to my mom this weekend (she’s younger than McCain) but she didn’t get the humor. But she understands the spirit. She voted for Hillary in Florida.
