He went on and on about how generous and supporting Hannity is, and how important he is to the conservative movement. He also suggested that President Bush may not have carried Ohio if Hannity didn't spend so much time there.

Does anybody think that Hannity's road shows helped re-elect President Bush in Ohio or anywhere else? Because if you do, think about this. Anybody who went out to see Hannity was already going to vote for Bush. His road shows did not add one vote to the R column.

The local media on his stops always focused on controversy surrounding him, if they mentioned Hannity at all. And every dime that was spent on show tickets, books, t-shirts, etc. was a dime that was not donated to Bush-Cheney '04 or the RNC.

Hannity has set himself up as someone for the left to demonize. Unlike Rush & some others, Hannity does not offer any new information on his talk shows and he gives no real substantial critique of liberal ideas. But, even in the middle of the most important election campaign in American history, he provided a forum for liberals to come on and bash Bush. I don't think this is the first or last time Hannity has attacked a group of conservatives.

Actually, I do.

It motivated the base that might have wanted Bush to win that wouldn't have shown up believing he had the state cold. Overconfidence has been the fault of lost races before.

I don't like what he said, but I'm not going to strip credit away for valuable contributions in 2004.

I liked Hannity's road shows. They were momentum builders to get out the vote and they help President Bush to victory.

That is so true. The left can't touch Rush, as much as they try. Sean is dumb to alienate Freepers. People on the left already told him he's next. One would think the man would have enough sense not to cause hard feelings with harsh talk to many of his own supporters. I guess he isn't as smart as he thinks.
