Since the first Michelle Malkin article appeared on Digg in November 2005 there have been 160 articles submitted to Digg linking to her site. Before July 14th 2006 zero articles have made it to the front page. After July 14th 2006 twenty-three of her stories have made it to the front page.
Michelle Malkin has done a very good job mobilizing her readers, and until a Digg mechanism or another dominant political group emerges on the site, we should all start getting used to Michelle Malkin posts.
