New Huckabee Radio Show Moves In on Limbaugh's Turf
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 03/19/12 | Christopher S Stewart

Posted on 03/18/2012 6:44:56 PM PDT by TonyInOhio

After decades as a dominant force in talk radio, Rush Limbaugh could be in for his biggest fight yet. But the threat isn't from activist groups who dislike his conservative politics. It is from one of his own: former Republican governor of Arkansas and onetime presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee.

Starting April 9, Mr. Huckabee, a Fox News Channel commentator, will go head-to-head with Mr. Limbaugh in a syndicated radio program airing in the noon to 3 p.m. Eastern time, weekday slot.

If Huckster had any brains he would apply for Rosie O’Donnell’s slot on Oprah’s OWN network. As it is he can expect to flame out against El Rushbo.

I get Rush’s podcast because he doesn’t come in at my office building. Then I discovered iTunes radio - and listen to him, Hannity and Levin on WBAP in Dallas. It’s so nice to get news at the top of the hour that doesn’t lead off with the latest messiah sigh about Obama.

Plus in the morning before Rush I get to listen to Mark Davis, who I really like, and the local commercials are great. It’s like an island of sanity in liberal land.

Huckabee is dry as toast. He has some OK ideas but he isn’t very interesting.

The Huckster will fail for the same reason O’Reilly did. He believes leftists are well-meaning and patriotic, but just misguided, and certainly not our enemies.

Rush understands that leftists ARE in fact our enemies. And that’s why leftists despise him.

Huck will end up doing three-day benders with Randi Rhodes.

ME TOO! I guess the Huck thinks he’s on loan from God too, haa! Rush is the ONLY person on talk radio I can listen to for three hours..and want more. He’ll be able to trump the Huckster with 1/10th of his brain tied behind his back.

in NYC , on 970 Miller 11 am to 1 pm, Prager 1 to 3pm no excitement there. 770 WOR has Joan Hamburg & Dave Ramsay. Who? & Who?
What other national choice are on versus Rush? Huckabee will be a clear choice? Not really.

Huckabee would be better if he’d jump into the Republican Presidential race right now, LOL!
