 "They're not just 18-year-old, beer-drinking yahoos. They're 20- and 30- and 40-something professionals. They're mainstream American citizens who are well-educated and affluent and socially active and politically interested, though not politically active. But they're being motivated. Wouldn't that be amazing if millions of people vote who otherwise wouldn't, because of this issue?"

 

Ah, but there's the rub.  EVEN with apathetic drag nets like Motor Voter, most of these yahoos won't:

1. Realize it's election day.
2. Know if they're registered.
3. Know what (if anything) they're required to bring to the polling place.
4. Know WHERE the correct polling place is.
5. Be motivated enough to make a special trip to do something they've never done before.

If Stern's listeners are who Harrison says, he's liable to loose 20-25% of his audience with all his Bush bashing.

Yes it would be AMAZING if millions of people vote who otherwise wouldn't, don't bet on it.

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

His listeners will be too busy laying on their couch wearing their wife beaters, drinking cheap beer and musing to themselves about how cool two lesbians "doing it" are!

You nailed it.

I had been a fan of Howard's since 1986 when he was first syndicated in Philly, but I no longer listen because of his constant Bush-bashing.

Buy a clue, Howard: the FCC in an Algore administration would have reacted the same way in the wake of the Janet Jackson boob incident. That is, if we were all here to talk about it, and not victims of another 9/11.
