I don't think I could've made it through the 2004 election without FR. I was going insane. The Dose, especially. I wasn't in school that fall and having to deal with my liberal parents every day was really awful. The Dose kept me sane :)
So was I, and as you know, it was a short trip!
After another panic call to a politically savy friend, she told me I simply must listen to Rush and Sean! Which of course I did. They are all that got me through election day!!! I did find FR around that time, but had limited connection availability at the time.
