When my 4yr old daughter was born, I got the middle of the night feedings and that's where I first saw a lot of Alan Keyes. His morning radio show was rebroadcast on America's Voice and his demeanor was a lot smoother than his appearances on the cable "head" shows. I couldn't get enough, even after my little girl fell back to sleep I would stay up and finish watching his show.
I think the show will do well, he won't be fighting for a word like he has to now on these shows, which makes him seen abrasive. When he has filled in for O'Reilly he has done quite well. I don't think there is anybody as quick on his feet other than Dr Keyes.
I think Keyes will beat that Van nut lady, look at Fox news base audience. Do you think they'll stay there with her or move the dial to see Keyes?
I think you might be right. With Keyes being the host he will not have to be as abrasive and as loud to get a word in edgewise over the other guests and a normally advesarial host. He wont be out numbered 3 to 1 and have to get his points across in 5 minutes against the others.
