why so long?
torture over the summer?
The Dims need their propaganda arm coverage in NY as close to the Nov election as possible. Err Amerika will probably look to rent a replacement frequency between Sep 1 and end of Nov or longer if they need to keep up another hate campaign about how Repubs stole the Nov election again. They will have no problem getting the funding and if they do, they can always find another boys or girls club to steal from.
Cool thing is, they won't be free advertising for the democrat of choice for this autumn's elections...LOL!
