A clearinghouse for liberal screeds and progressive perspective on the news, the site claims to get more than 500,000 unique visitors daily and more than 10,000 members maintain their own sub-blogs (called "diaries") within its reaches. On Thursday, almost a thousand of these loyal readers and contributors — along with Wesley Clark, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and former Virginia governor and potential '08 contender Mark Warner — will gather in Las Vegas for a pep rally-cum-political conference, "Yearly Kos."
I don't know the stats for FR visitors and posts, but find it difficult to believe Daily Kos is the most popular political web site in the world.
it is one of the most popular. it runs a few clicks above FR:

FR doesn't qualify because FR isn't a blog. :^)
I wonder if there is a distinction between "political blog" and "news forum"?
He could easily be the biggest, because he gets to count all the hits on 10,000 blogs run by others under his banner. I would imagine the top 10,000 conservative blogs put together would generate slightly higher hit totals.....
Is this the MSM way of brainwashing the younger crowd that doesn't read their publications? Wonder if they contribute $ to KOS?
