I completely agree. I learn really good things by listening to Pragers show which help me in every day life, and I love to hear Medved take on Liberals face to face. At this point in my life they are the two I hate to miss.
However, there isn't really a right talker out there that I don't enjoy on some level...one for every mood.
What's amazing is that the conservative talk market is so big at this point, people can find a niche and settle in. Hannity's audience is completely different than Savages, but both are conservative/traditional Americans. The fact we can do that is pretty cool. The rise of the right talk phenomenon clearly illustrates why the Dems are struggling.
In the beginning, Rush was able to bridge the Hannity conservatives and the Savage conservatives and got them vocally on board. We all still love Rush, but also have our little "specialty conservatives" who address our particular areas of interest.
Dems/liberals haven't figured this out yet and, given the make up of their party, I am not completely sure they can. I have a hard time seeing what overarching philosophy environmentalists and Detroit unionists can agree on.
I believe that is why they hate this war so much. Because at least they can all agree on this, they have a boogy-man. Once the President is gone, what is left of Frankin's show will be too because if it isn't growing now when the ground is fertile, then when there isn't it will just die away.
Anyway, this whole thing is a great lesson in how grassroots movements grow from the bottom up and how they can not be built and managed from the top down. Average people created the right talk market...not Rush or anybody else. Rush just saw the market and went with it. The GOP couldn't have created him if they had tried.
Fortunately, Dems don't realize this. More good news for us.
