Five Million Pageviews!!!

Congratulations! (5.00 / 1)

Good work Rob (and RMG bloggers).  The use and posting of primary source material really makes the site stand out.  Even the Globe favorably cited RMG in a recent story! Keep those FOIA requests flying and the truth will make the case for a Republican majority.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE PAGEVIEW. (0.00 / 0)

Was it the time Festus showed up to RedMassGroup under the new name "Simple J Malarky"? Or was it the time Bob Neer tried to warn us that droping the MA State Sales Tax Rate will turn Boston into down town Mogadishu?  

For me, my favorite page view was this => http://www.redmassgroup.com/di...

Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, there has only been 1 time in the history of man where members of RedMassGroup and members of BlueMassGroup squared off on the field of battle, and the above link shows the aftermath . . .

BTW ... if you are wondering why EaBo's name showed up on the list but David, Charley, and Bob's names didn't (0.00 / 0)

It's because EaBo had the balls to make a prediction and sign his name to it.  The 3 dingles over on BlueMassGroup? not so much . . .

It didn't peter out! Yay! (0.00 / 0)

Back in February 2007, a few months after a political neophyte named Deval Patrick cruised to victory in the Massachusetts governor's race with help from a political blog named Blue Mass Group (BMG) - which whipped up pro-Patrick sentiment while aggressively rebutting the governor-to-be's critics - I sized up a recent conservative entry in the local blogosphere. The blog in question, Red Mass Group (RMG), looked like a shamelessly derivative attempt to ride BMG's coattails - an especially dubious proposition given liberals' then-dominance in the world of online political activism. Hence my glib prediction: RMG would "peter out in a couple of months."

So much for that. Three years later, RMG is very much alive. And in Republican Scott Brown's recent US Senate victory, it played a potent, multifaceted role similar to the one BMG played for Patrick and the Democrats in 2006, acting as a clearing-house for information, a source for analysis and original reporting, a fundraising tool, and a one-stop shop for the distillation and dissemination of political zeal. RMG also smashed its previous traffic records, pulling in a whopping 41,000-plus unique visitors on January 16, the Saturday before the Senate election, according to statcounter.com - a remarkable 39,000 of whom were visiting for the first time.
