CD, for my money, I've always thought Rush and Howard Stern were about at the same level. You should of seen my grand dad's face when I told him that back in 01. The funniest part about Rush is how many democrats listen to him. The only guy I know who listens to Rush regularly is my father and he's been a democrat longer then I've existed. Of course the same goes for Stern. He gets a lot of calls from people who are conservatives and mad about such and such. Why would you listen to him?

Huckabee's ok, it doesn't take long for the baptist preacher in him to come out though. Then I find him a little to preachy for a politicion.

Rush, Hannity, and O'Rielly are useful idiots as far as the republican party is concerned. They can be depended on to rally to whatever cause you got. Beck is the question mark. I find him to dramatic but he's not a republican lacky. He started rooting for the libertarians in the last election.

Cam's right though. The dems aren't doing much of anything to fix the underlieing problems. Some of the reason the public has trended Democrat is that the reps continued to play kick the can with the deficits, entittlement reform, getting the fed out of schools.

If Obama thought heath insurance is a hot potato. Wait till he tries to deal with medicare and social security. They've still got to write the budget, and thats going to be a battle and a half. Earmarks are going to fly faster then ever.

The 2010 election is almost certainly going to republican. There are plenty who have buyer remorse and the big youth vote is not likely to bother showing up. It already been seen in the Georgia senate run off. The vote was so close that they had to hold a run off. The result of the run off was a 20 point lead for the rep.

2012 on the other hand is anybodies guess. There is plenty of time for all manner of thing to happen.
