Wouldn't it be nice?

People like being talked to on the radio, and there are enough people out there who agree with what he says to make it worthwhile for advertisers to support him. The last US presidential election was a great dissapointment for many people, and he is a voice for the more moderate ones. John McCain lost the popular vote by a small percentage (it was still a clear loss) because enough voters felt he was too liberal and did not vote in protest. They want a voice, they want a candidate and they like what Limbaugh has to say. There was even talk of him running for president on the 2008 Republican ticket, and I think he would of done better than McCain. Like him or not, listen to him or not, agree with him or not, he is going to be the voice of a major influence on the next US presidential election. You can debate whether he creates the opinions or meerly reflects them, but either way there is enough demand for his saying them to keep him on the air. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
