I don't know if anyone in general gravitates to MSNBC, do they? Other than Dan Abrams, what do they have that's worth watching?

Chris Matthews is okay; I forgot about him.

No one gravitated on the small AM stations around the nation until Limbaugh showed up. In many markets he began on a washed up station and pumped new life into them. As his sucess appeared assured, the big stations suddenly started paying attention and offering their time to his show.

But why was Limbaugh sucessful, even on stations that no one listened or wanted to listen to? Because he had something the listeners wanted.

I was an early Limbaugh fan, and I have deep problems with some of his positions on the issues. But I'm a fan because of how he presents his positions, how he structures his show, and I listen for more than just to hear someone slap liberals around. He not only is informative, but he's entertaining.

Coulter can't claim that. Neither could Keyes. Coulter lobs her oneliner and then gloats over the attention it creates. To suceed in the business of ideas and become a player vs a periodic guest, you must be more than one dimension. Coulter only has that one dimension.
