Is he popular?
Yes, the fellow on the left with the handheld mic is Mark Davis. As far as politically-oriented talk shows go in the region, he is popular.
Davis does fill in on occasion for Rush Limbaugh and sometimes draws unfavorable comments here on FR. I perceive him as more Republican than a die-hard Conservative. He also has a libertarian streak as well as being pragmatic (often to a fault). The latter trait is why I was surprised to hear of his support for Stephen Broden.
Ah yes. I knew the name sounded familiar. He hosted Rush’s last hour today. Thanks!
