Slightly Off-Topic, but why did this thread view count shoot up + 2k views within the past 3-4 days?

Never really seen that kind of a % jump that quickly on Atlas, and could be Atlas Posters constantly refreshing, external viewers checking in on what we are all talking about, or hell knows even the FSB and Putin checkin' in on what we're all talking about....

Anyways.... carry on keep calm, but extremely interesting to see all of this outside attention on just the past couple days since a few new polls came out on CD-08.....

I assume people thought of this race as very safe R, but over the past few days as early voters have come trickling in and new polls having been surfaced interest really increased plus the media has been hyping it up lately as well.

oh lordie... not the media. I swear if this race suddenly becomes a "tossup" in the media's eyes and they declare the blue wave dead when Lesko wins by over 5....

Lol. I’ve already seen article titles about the GOP scrambling to defend AZ-08 and stuff similar to it.
