Conservative talk radio has even penetrated into liberal strongholds. Here in Massachusetts, Republican Mitt Romney solidly defeated Socialist Shannon O'Brien due in large part to local talk show hosts such as Howie Carr and Jay Severin pounding away at O'Brien every day for weeks.

Consider that only 13% of the electorate here are registered Republicans and yet the Republican won with almost 55% of the vote. That is a staggering achievement, especially when considering how entrenched the Socialists are here. Shannon O'Brien had the backing of the entire Socialist machine including the unions and the teachers, etc. Without talk radio, I am convinced that Shannon O'Brien would have won in a landslide.

Now if only the local talk show hosts could concentrate on the state legislatures. But they never talk about politics at the state level beyond governor very much - even Howie Carr, who built his career on exposing the corruption in local Bay State politics.

BTW, for those who are confused with my exchanging of the word Socialist for Democrat, I made a vow several weeks ago that so long as avowed Socialist Nancy Pelosi is the elected leader of the Democrat party nationally, that anybody claiming to be a Democrat is in fact a Socialist and against America.

Hurray! A speaker of the truth. I bugs me when the term 'liberal' is used because most of the time, today, it is used incorrectly and the term 'socialist' is the more correct label. Knowing how much the left has become paranoid about the label 'liberal', imagine what they would do if they had to try and seperate themselves from an indelible association with 'socialism.' Heh, heh, heh.
