From the Editor:

Take a look at these numbers from the past five days, Site Meter:

Fri 3/5 - 808
Thu 3/4 - 856
Wed 3/3 - 840
Tue 3/2 - 899
Mon 3/1 - 829

That means for the entire work week we had over 800 unique visitors each day. Now, we've gotten good numbers before, many times into the 1,000 to 2,000 range, and actually as high as 3,900 one day last June. But never consistently this high for five straight days.

Additionally, our Google Followers is edging towards the "magic" 200 mark. We stand at 194. It's quite exceptional for a political blog to have over 200 Followers. (If you're signed up with a Google account, please take a moment and become a Follower by clicking rightside bar at the bottom, and help us get over that 200 mark.)

In recent weeks I've learned that we've got some very highly placed and even celebrity readers of Libertarian Republican. As I've mentioned before at least one very high up Republican Inside the Beltway, who is a communications director for an extremely important organization is a daily LR reader. Another communications director for a very large State GOP is also a diehard LR fan.

But in the last 3 weeks or so, I've been contacted by radio talk show host Larry Elder, South Carolina Congressional candidate Katherine Jenerette, and California Congressional candidate David Harmer (running against Nancy Pelosi). All expressed how much they appreciate Libertarian Republican and said they are regular readers. David and Katherine especially wanted me to give a shout out to all Libertarian Republican readers.

Last night I got a call from someone representing a very prominent and somewhat controversial New York celebrity. This individual, said that the person they represented expressed support for our efforts, and is a regular reader of our blog. This person has been featured on this blog (not too mention Fox News, CNN, Entertainment Today, NY Daily News, NY Times, ect...) You'd instantly recognize her name.

One quick request; if you haven't already done it, please take a moment to add LR to your Daily Favorites bar. Visit twice or three times a day. Just click on. That will help us get over the magic number of a consistent 1,000 a day.

And don't forget to tell your friends and political associates about LR. We're mainstream libertarians. We're the perfect introduction to the libertarian movement and libertarian ideals.
