Fox puts people on such as Jim Gilchrist, Chris Simcox, Michelle Malkin, Tom Tancredo, etc.etc. and just because they are on Fox News or Hannity's show, some on FR think that the whole country agrees with them and then when elections like this happen, there is a big letdown.
But what does Fox, Hannity, or Rush care, they are just looking for viewers and listeners.
We have known about this for a long time. I call it the Pat Buchanan effect.
