A decent host, regardless of political stance, could bite the bullet, 
salute Uncle Charlie with a solid heel-click, and bring on an opposing 
viewpoint and still proceed to punt its arse up between the uprights 
(okay, radials) and make for great radio, nonetheless.  It just seems 
like such a waste of good football metaphors all for just for the game 
of faking even-footing of opinions and free enterprise. 

The other option is the <ack> brilliant method C-Span uses of a pro and 
con dial in line.  You alternate both lines -  even if one of them is 
queued from Quincy to the Cape and the other is like a drive-through at 
Wendy's.
