Maybe that style appeals more to the nationwide audience, but as a Californian I find his interviews of McClintock or of Simon were big wastes of time.

Then might I suggest either you dont tune in or you encourage your candidate not to appear or better yet to get out of the race. Hannity & Colmes is on the air to make money for Rupert Murdoch and investors, not to push any agenda. Its a television show. It's not propaganda.

*my* candidate? McClintock is one of California's candidates, as are Simon, Schwarzenegger, Bustamante, Ueberroth, Huffington, Camejo, and others. I don't own anyone. Hannity is fine sometimes, so I won't tune out simply because he is interviewing a candidate for CA. Since I live in CA, I am genuinely interested when a candidate is interviewed. He simply did a poor job of interviewing (from any objective standard).

I completely agree. Given that their audience is mostly outside of CA, it makes sense that they should make the show interesting for tha majority of their audience. Since McClintock is relatively unknown in the other 49 states, compared to action-hero Schwarzenegger, it makes sense for these programs to appeal comfortably to their star-struck fans.
