"I'll give him about 1-3 months. MSNBC should really wake up and realize that people who lean far left OR right aren't going to get too many ratings for them. First Keyes, then Phil, now Savage......it's like a frickin see-saw in their programming department!"
The reason you mention are exactly the ones why Mike will survive. The others are in the middle, and, hence, no strong convictions. Mike goes to the extreme because of his strong conservative convictions. Viewers, deep in their hearts, have no desire for wishy-washy hosts. They want to hear people who say what they mean and mean what they say. Mike Savage is such a man.

God Bless him, and I hope you're right, but Keyes was pretty darn sure of his convictions too, wasn't wishy washy, and he still suffered in the ratings.
We'll see. I can hardly wait to see the show, although if it's going to be on in the afternoons I'm going to have to tape it.
