The Spirit of Radio
John Fund has an excellent piece at Opinion Journal on the key role that talk radio played in the California recall:
Californians spend more time stuck in their cars listening to conservative talk radio than sitting in easy chairs reading the state's uniformly liberal newspapers," says George Neumayr of The American Spectator. Regular listeners may total only 20% of the general public, but they vote and discuss politics with their friends far more often than most people.
My only quibble with Fund's analysis would be his glaring omission of the contribution to the recall effort by the L.H.C.O.T.B., Hugh Hewitt who's been all over it from the get go.
