Afraid of what now?

Daily Kos diarist IAmNobody conducts a brilliant analysis:

There has been a lot of talk lately about some Hillary supporters who will actively or passively work against Obama if/when he gets the nomination.  One place where these supporters seem to hang out is www.hillaryis44.com

So I decided to compare the userbase of dailykos and hillaryis44 in an attempt to see how widespread this viewpoint is.  I have downloaded 100,000 recent posts by users of both sites and looked at the userbase associated with those posts.

This is what IAmNobody found:

  • Daily Kos: The 100,000 posts were made by 8,939 users. The top 20 users posted 8% of all posts. 1,219 had posted at least 20 times accounting for 68% of all posts.
  • H44: The 100,000 posts were made by 310 users. The top 20 users posted 45% of all posts. 171 had posted at least 20 times accounting for 99% of all posts.
