I do think that talk radio has lost a wee bit of influence. A lot of talk radio hosts became apologists for the Republicans who stopped acting like conservatives.

I think you're the lone voice of reason here so far. I think you're right - after the 2006 election when many (not all) talk show hosts were calling those disgusted with RINOs 'cut and run conservatives', many of those conservatives cut and ran from listening to those shows.
