"...if that doesn't happen their stations will dump them faster than they can say "Bush sucks" one last time."

I suspect you're wrong about that. If I admire anything about the left, it is their patience and understanding of incrementalism. They have been working their social/political/economic agenda for almost a century now and the inroads they have made are now readily evident. The right, on the other hand seems to expect everything now, and many are talking about ignoring elections or 'punishing republicans,' because they have achieved everything during the past legislative session, or even the past six years. The left did not make all their advances overnight, but literally over the course of decades. To think that the right has any chance of reversing their momentum in the matter of one or two presidential terms is ludicrous.

The right might fire or marginalize prognosticators that turned out to be in error, but the left will use theirs to continue to chink away at the fabric of our national character and rebuild it in their own image.

I don't think the stations will be able to withstand the bailout of advertisers from these shows because business doesn't want to be associated with commentators that are constantly wrong and who's ratings are in the dumps. Dobbs have been wrong about the economy, Olbermann has been just a loud mouth with nothing as in ideas and Chrissy was so wrong about Rove that he probably has nightmares about Rove.
