Radio Cities!

Here’s an interesting thing I thought about whilst driving across country the last week of August: Radio could decide the election!

According to this, (9th paragraph down) Kerry’s best swing state win chances are Florida, Ohio, Nevada, West Virginia and New Hampshire.

Let's look at the number of affiliates Air America has in these key swing states: Yikes! They suck!

Now lets take a look at Bill O’Reily and Rush Limbaugh alone (keep in mind I’m not counting Micheal Savage, Micheal Medved, Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, etc.)

Bill:

Rush:

(click and count yourself)

You’ll find that combined its 100+ vs. 3 in the key swing states that Kerry has "the best chance in" !!! Of course I'm not counting satelite radio, but that doesn't really matter much.

Could hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions be persuaded by radio? It sounds silly, but think about those news reports they had during the Primaries when they asked some people when they decided on whom to vote for. Some of them said "In the car ride over here." !!!—you know where there are radios!

But then again, what do I know.......

True, but Air America does have stations in Reno, NV, Key West, FL and Philadelphia, PA so they have a little swing State coverage. It is true that Rush and Company have the country and the swing states wired.
