That is a point that I have wondered about now and again especially while
I was at WCAP.  How is it that in a region that is supposed to be
liberal, conservative talk show hosts do so well, is it the liberals want
to hear what the dark side is saying?  Outside of Jim Braude and Mike (is
he still on?) Barnicle I can't think of any other talking heads that I
could definitely call liberal, but then again I don't listen to
commercial talk radio all that often.
