I would hardly call BOR a conservative. He is a blowhard and too wishy washy with no defined set of principles which is essential for a real conservative. Hannity is no mental giant but is a Reagan conservative with core values and is a lot more important to our movement than BOR. Most conservatives I know do not like BOR who is obsessed with appearing fair and was very late to the party as far as realizing the evil that Obama is. Hannity is our best shot at getting women open to listening and then eventually their belief system is strong enough where they can listen to Mark Levin and not get turned off. My wife is gradually moving to the right largely because she is ok with Hannity’s tone and listened to him. She would never listen to Levin or Savage, those are for advanced conservatives. I think Limbaugh is the best overall but his satire and bombast (which I love) takes some getting used to. Hannity is the most likeable and most likely conduit to bring someone over to our side and we have to convert the minds and hearts out there. We need to expand our numbers by shifting people’s thinking to the right and Hannity is the best there is for a first exposure before folks graduate to the more cerebral types. Hannity is telegenic and nice which is very important to women.
I was joking, I like Sean but have trouble with the fact that he has a man crush on Newt to RINO. I turn his show off any time Newt is on, TV or radio.
Hannity preaches to the choir! BOR, as much as I dislike him, appeals to moderates because he appears to take both sides. He usually, however, ends up on the conservative side of the spectrum.

Levin is for advanced conservatives? Wow. I always considered myself a Republican and that’s it. Interesting to know I am an advanced conservative. Respectfully, I think you may be off track a bit re Levin and how women feel about listening to him. I’m a middle aged woman and have no problem with Levin at all.
Mark Levin has many many female listeners/supporters out here and he does not put us off in the slightest. Many of us do not need to stick with Hannity because he is ‘nice’ and like the yelling of Levin. In fact, if I’m driving I turn up the volume, turn down the windows so anyone around me can hear him too, whether they like it or not ;)
Of course, some people think I’m really ‘brave’ to have a “Don’t Tread on Me” sticker on the car.......so I may not be representative of the typical woman (typical WHITE woman!)
BOR could disappear from network TV and nobody would notice.
BOR also had an advertisement indicating he was going to have Megan McCain on as a guest.
CLICK, no rating for BOR.
Megan McCain is instant RINO change channel alert.
