As a former listener of Stern and his antics, I can say that people do listen. Those who listen however, are the deviants and misfits of society. I seriously doubt Howard will have much to do with Bush losing the election. I think more would vote for Bush because Howard hates him. BTW, Howard used to like him and was a conservative when I first started listening. Howard is as big a flip-flop as kerry!

Harrison explained that a large percentage of Stern's listeners -- some 8 1/2 million a week - were leaning in favor of Bush. "If Stern could turn several million supporters away from Bush, that has even more impact than Rush Limbaugh, who's preaching to the choir." Well maybe the opposite will happen - if he continues railing against Bush, the Bush supporters will leave Stern... I'm one of them.

Well! Kerry sure is getting more popular by the hour. First it's all those foriegn leaders, then the New Spaniard Terrorist supporter and now Howard Stern.

Stern has no power to sway anybody!

Howard's an idiot if he thinks voting Democrats into office will somehow lessen the level of government intervention.

Stern does not want to lose his 10-12 million dollar gig:)

Stern's audience, Harrison said, is broader than most people realize. "They're not just 18-year-old, beer-drinking yahoos. They're 20- and 30- and 40-something professionals. Baloney. If you've listened to both Howard Stern and Don Imus, a huge difference between the two audiences is evident within ten minutes. Stern's advertisers include a bunch of no-name local companies that I've never heard of, while Imus' advertisers include Mercedes Benz, Jeep, and the New York Stock Exchange.
This is why Imus laughs at all the grief he gets from Howard Stern supporters over Stern's superior ratings -- Stern's ratings are much higher than Imus', and yet Imus advertising revenue is substantially greater.

I was listening to his show that day when the towers fell. Stern was on the air stating the country had "gotten too liberal" and how we needed to kick arse in the Middle East. Funny, the seond he feels his show is threatened, he will abandon all ideals for his own financial gain. I used to think the guy was funny, but now Howard has lost me and will never get me back. Howard fails to realize that some of the things he says on the aire piss everyone off, liberal and conservative alike. I hope Kerry loses, but one consolation I would enjoy is seeing Howard's face if Kerry wins and Howard is still thrown off the aire.

That's what's shameful. He used to know enough to support Bush because of the terrorists. But if you think there's anything sincere about Howard Stern - It's all about saving his money and appealling to the crowd his hot girl friend runs with. Howard's show suffered and so did his credibility when his wife dumped him (gee I wonder why) and he started messing with a hot young babe. He's just a rich pig. And his show now sucks.

Agree... Almost as boring as listening to Howard and all the "suck-ups" talk abou how important and "cool" they are. I got bored a long time ago with the self aggrandizement. I care nothing about Howard's personal life but that is 90% of the discussion in the 6-7 AM drive hour. No loss for me...

"States where people vote based on Howard Stern's endorsement are not states that Bush is going to win anyway."
Exactly
BTW Stern never supported Hillary Clinton. The whole gang supported Lazio and suported Senator AL in 1998 against Schumer.

And even if they get to the polls, they may not know how to cast a ballot.

Is "shock jock" Howard Stern's voice powerful enough to affect the upcoming presidential election to the extent of sending President Bush packing?
That's what the Boston Globe wants to know, explaining that the liberal talk show host the newspaper describes as a "stripper aficionado, champion of misfits everywhere, all-purpose radio provocateur," has turned his raunchy show into a Bush bashing marathon.
Rush has about 5x as many listeners as Stern, and Rush doesn't waste 3/4 of his time making infantile pee pee poo poo jokes. Also, I suspect many Stern listeners will not bother to go to the polls.

I'd wager that the majority of his audience, of those that would actually bother to vote, will have been Kerry voters anyway. He's just preaching to the choir.

Bingo.
