In the worst case, all our beloved conservative talk would immediately jump to satelitte where they would remain untouched, but Dems would take an UNBELIEVABLE amount of flak for their attempts.

I think it's as likely that they go to the internet. Look at Pajama's TV. Rush's advertisers would follow him to the internet. The downside to both satellite and the net is that there's currently no mechanism to sell targeted local ads, so the total revenue stream is less. I can't see a way to add local advertising to satellite radio. I can think of a lot of ways to do it with the internet.

Getting rid of talk radio may not be quite so easy. If they try and do it late at night it will be uncovered immediately and we will challenge it forever. They are going after some big guns who make huge bucks off talk. Some of which supports them. So it may not be the slam dunk they think it will be.
