As the California gubernatorial race neared the home stretch last fall, the Bill Simon campaign had been calling Gov. Gray Davis a "debate dodger" for weeks on end without drawing much interest in the theme. But while the Republican candidate met one afternoon with a newspaper editorial board, several of his staff members waited outside in the campaign van, gleefully listening to the radio.

I miss KFI. Started listening to it in 1991 when I first heard Rush. John and Ken started their show when I was in law school. Funny thing, I never thought of them as RIGHT WING. But they do call a spade a spade. I remember them going after the congressman to "inquire" about his missing intern.
Bill Handel is STILL the best KFI has to offer, though. He went from a call in legal show where he tells the caller he/she has no case, to doing the morning show for three hours. You'd think he'd be too busy in his practice with Reproductive Law. (guess I missed that class)
Thousands of TalkRadio 790 KABC listeners attended Sean Hannity's remote broadcast at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Thursday, March 6th, 2003. His fans showed tremendous support for him and for America!

That's why the new tact. Reduce the corporate climate and enhance the possibilty of business not based on profit.
Reduce the corporate profit mentality and enhance the exposure of unpopular idealogues.

Hence the new tactic (not mentioned in this article) to attack the corporate influence in talk radio.
State Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Simi Valley, campaigns against government waste during his weekly appearance on the Sacramento-based "Eric Hogue Show."
"Clueless" Ed Fletcher appears to be totally oblivious to the fact that he has stumbled onto the real reason leftists will fail on the radio. By analogy, if Democrats have "easy access to the base of their party," they'll campaign for government waste.
Because they're generally humorless, condescending, and boring. They go around in a perpetual teeth-clench and it comes through when they talk. Nobody wants to listen to a sorehead for more than about ten minutes.
